lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I should just like to inform the House that not only have we achieved a separate instrument to promote democracy and human rights as a successor to the European initiative, against the original wishes of the Council and Commission, but we have managed to achieve all the objectives set by the European Parliament. In reply to Mr Milinkevich this morning, it is true now that that instrument can have the capacity to operate within his country, without his country’s consent as Mrs Flautre says. Moreover, this year I visited a number of what we call ‘difficult countries’ – China, Cuba, even Russia today, parts of the Arab world – where the democracy backlash is moving in. I should like to read from the letter that Mrs Ferrero-Waldner sent last Friday to the rapporteurs and the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Mr Brok: ‘This provision may also include working with democratic political partners in third countries, provided that the principle of impartiality towards such partners is respected. On the other hand, funding of political parties as such remains excluded from the scope of the draft regulation.’ So, Mr President, this is part of the process of the moral politics that Mr Milinkevich talked about, but it is only part of it. We must do a lot more and not leave that field to the Americans."@en1
