lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Mediterranean region certainly is an area where consistent and committed action by the European Union can have a real impact. It can lead to tangible results helping the citizens regain hope for their future whilst respecting them as what they are. Such a future must be characterised by stability and gradual economic growth and also by full respect for human rights. I should like to focus on two particular issues in the agenda, because I feel they are particularly important to the Euro-Mediterranean dialogue. Firstly, it is absolutely crucial to engage civil society in this process, ensuring that the citizens, their organisations and associations understand that their future lies in their own hands, not in the hands of top politicians. Secondly, trade needs to be given a real boost. It must be effectively promoted and a genuine free exchange and free trade area set up. I refer to South-South free trade amongst themselves. Too many of their borders are still closed. Of course, there must also be a South-North free trade area in which we are involved. This will be achieved by setting up a genuine free trade area between the European Union and the Mediterranean area. I believe these two issues are of vital importance."@en1
