lpv:translated text	"Mr President, firstly I wish to congratulate Mrs Napoletano on her excellent work. I am pleased that in her report she has treated the east and the south equally. It is and must be in the interests of the EU to have balanced neighbourhood relations along all its external borders. A major challenge for us is that we do not build a fortress around us whilst strengthening shared values and the workings of the internal market. That is why the approach outlined in the communication on Wider Europe, with its emphasis on interdependence, is especially welcome. We must not limit growth in prosperity just to the area within the Union’s borders. Promoting democracy, good governance, human rights and sustainable development in its neighbouring countries works to everyone’s benefit. On a practical level, border region cooperation will open up new opportunities for investment and innovation on both sides and will reinforce direct cooperation between people. This will increase regional prosperity and stability. We should follow the example set by forms of cooperation that work, such as that which exists between Finland and Russia, and for neighbourhood policy to actually get some wind in its sails we have to set aside adequate resources."@en1
