"Mr President, after the second world war, the people of Europe had the vision of integrating their countries, and more than 50 years on the EU is the result. Today our great Europe needs to have the vision of a neighbourhood policy, in the East and in the South, and I am grateful to Mrs Napoletano for her report, which provides many ideas. We have a whole arsenal of instruments with which to put flesh on the bones of this neighbourhood policy: economic, political and technological. We should also use the other institutions, the Council of Europe and the OSCE, which have a contribution to make to this neighbourhood policy. I believe that a strategy of neighbourhood agreements for individual countries or groups of countries might be helpful, like the Schuman declaration of 1951, only then it was for coal and steel. It is a model that we can still use today for sectoral agreements with our neighbours. A technological agreement with North Africa on solar hydrogen, for example, would be of huge importance for both us and them. We do not want a fortress Europe, but an open Europe, and this policy should help us to achieve this."@en1
