"Mr President, I was pleased to vote for the report on the European Neighbourhood Policy. The European Union is not a fort; the European Union is not an island. We need good neighbours, cooperating partner states. The more countries living in peace, stability and prosperity we have in our neighbourhood, the safer we will be ourselves. The reason I still asked for the floor is that in my opinion, the importance of the good neighbourhood policy far exceeds the interpretation currently given to it by the European Union. In our current thinking, forced enlargement plays a much more serious part than the neighbourhood policy. Certain countries can never become members of the European Union, others are given vague promises, and others yet are regarded by some as privileged. I believe that it would be wiser to develop some sort of special partner status, and deepen the neighbourhood policy. Rather than accepting some countries and punitively ignoring others, we should be thinking in terms of a good neighbourhood policy."@en1
