lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Commissioner, what prospects has the Barcelona Process opened up, 10 years on? During that time, Europe has been greatly preoccupied with its own organisation and enlargement. It has not always given its southern flank the attention it deserved. At the same time, the Israel-Palestine conflict has blocked the overall development dynamic by capturing all the attention in the region. Today there is an urgent need to get the process moving again. Tools are in place: association agreements, a neighbourhood policy and in particular the Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly, which is a great democratic step forward in this process. There is also the establishment of the Anna Lindh Foundation to encourage dialogue between cultures and civilisations. Furthermore, there is the idea, which is already well advanced, of setting up a Euro-Mediterranean development bank to promote employment, health and education in the countries of the South. Other civil society organisations are being formed. All these projects are making progress, but two things are essential if they are to be effective. The first is to get the wind of political reform blowing, and the nations of the South are ready to back it. The second is to establish a just and lasting peace between the Israelis and Palestinians. The present circumstances are favourable but very fragile. Europe needs to be more committed. All these projects are converging towards greater peace, security and shared prosperity, but much too slowly. Europe has understood that there is no war of civilisations, but that an alliance of civilisations is necessary, because after dismantling a wall in the East, Europe now has to build a bridge to the South."@en1
