"The European Parliament has today adopted a position on what the EU should do to bring about reforms in the Arab world. We are strongly opposed to this because this type of issue needs to be resolved through the UN. Amendment 20 by the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe proposes that the EU should not support ‘fundamentalist and extremist nationalist’ movements. That is obvious, but the EU should not engage in foreign policy at all by supporting movements in other parts of the world. We have therefore voted against the amendment. In Amendment 21, the ALDE Group wants, furthermore, to get the Arab countries to guarantee ‘the independence and separation of institutions and political power from the religious authorities’. As an institution, the EU must definitely not have views on another country’s system. Because we do not consider that this is an issue for the EU, we have voted against the report as a whole in today’s vote."@en1
