lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I would like to highlight a number of key principles that should feature in any sound and effective neighbourhood policy. Firstly, such a policy must not be presented as something diametrically opposed to membership of the European Union. On the contrary, in the case of a European country, a successful neighbourhood policy should bring membership closer. Clearly, neighbourhood does not automatically entail membership, but it can result in membership. Secondly, it should be emphasised that the level of aid must be conditional on the willingness to comply with democratic standards demonstrated by the neighbouring or partner country. This applies especially to the case of Belarus, where it is not possible for us to cooperate with the government. It also ought to apply to Russia, however, because there has been a notable drop in compliance with democratic standards in that country during the actual period of implementation of partnership agreements. It is my impression that what we are doing in Russia is helping to build roads that are subsequently used to transport people sentenced unfairly, or oil pipelines from which we are subsequently denied oil. The third principle is as follows. Wherever an inadequate level of democracy is noted, we ought to make a particular effort to support civil society and democratic forces. To be able to do this effectively, we need to be able to rely on a special instrument for human rights. Such an instrument should be sufficiently flexible to serve as an effective tool in a hostile legal and political environment. These principles are contained in the Tannock report and endorsed by it. My group is therefore pleased to vote in favour of the report."@en1
