lpv:translated text	". − The moment of an election is not in any way the only moment or the only exponent of democracy. However, it is often the turning point. In countries without an electoral tradition, the holding of elections can be and often is the occasion when the process of democratisation becomes irreversible. However, this is a process that we are talking about. For this reason, everything stated in this report on the success, difficulties, inadequacies and needs for reform of the European Union’s election observation missions (EOMs) is important and deserves our full attention, but it will always miss the essential point: the overall contribution of the various European instruments to the achievement of democracy (in which the EU’s EOMs are obviously involved). This, I believe, is the challenge raised by this debate which, having made us think about it, we must accept. The promotion and protection of democracy are not only part of the DNA of the European Union but are also part of its world vision, both in terms of principles and values and in terms of its own interests."@en1
