lpv:translated text	"Mr President, since the reunification of Europe is about to become a reality, even though, as we know, there is still much to do, we are witnessing a page of history being written. Now we have the Mediterranean on the next page. To turn the Mediterranean into an integrated whole containing almost 900 million men and women is our challenge for the next 30 years. In order to respond to this new challenge we need genuine ambition and instruments for dialogue. This instrument for political dialogue, which we need, is the Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly, and the Naples Conference must enshrine its birth, because only political dialogue can forge a genuine balanced, in-depth and lasting partnership. It is for that reason that the Euro-Parliamentary Forum has been in place since 1998. But with its informal configuration, it has remained a passive witness, overly dependent on the ups and downs of international events, and hostage to the conflagration in the Middle East. In Naples, this forum must become a genuine parliamentary assembly in order to acquire a new democratic legitimacy, in order to fulfil its role completely as an instrument of dialogue for peace, stability and regional development. I am convinced that it will be more than that, because it will also be a new departure point for all Euro-Mediterranean relations. This is the opportunity to create a new ambition for the South. The Union appears to have finally realised this, today, by trying to give form to what is known as the concept of neighbourhood. We must not, however, be mistaken in our objective. To distinguish and honour these good neighbours may mean that they will never be part of the family. It is no longer the time for a fool’s bargain for the South. The free trade area and the credo ‘Everything but institutions’, which prevailed until now within the context of Euro-Mediterranean relations, have been left behind. At political level, we must implement the future framework for Euro-Mediterranean relations, a free Union inspired by the Council of Europe, founded upon common objectives and shared values: common security, secularity, the rule of law and democracy. At economic level, we must launch a genuine Marshall plan for the Mediterranean with a view to genuinely establishing this shared prosperity, which was already included in the Barcelona declaration."@en1
