"As the head of the European Parliament’s Moldova delegation, I am naturally interested in the development of the ENPI’s Eastern dimension. I fully understand and support the interests of the southern Member States of the European Union in promoting the development of the ENPI’s southern dimension. At the same time, I am convinced that we cannot neglect our neighbours in the east. From the point of view of the security and welfare of our common home, both eastern and southern neighbours are equally important to us. On the basis of the present system, which is in effect until 2010, the ENPI’s funds are divided unequally – 70% goes to the southern dimension and just 30% to the eastern dimension countries. New financing discussions will begin this year. I sincerely hope that the present system will be amended during these discussions, and that in future funds will justifiably be divided equally. Due to the events of the past summer – here I refer to the Russo-Georgian conflict – our eastern neighbours in my opinion justifiably expect a greater contribution from the EU to the safeguarding of stability. The EU’s involvement must not be limited just to declarative political support, but must also contain very real cooperation and assistance with the implementation of reforms. I am incredibly happy that Estonia is one of the 15 founding members of the recently founded Neighbourhood Investment Facility. During the present economic recession, the allocation of EUR 1 million is quite a big act – and a concrete one."@en1
