"After the experience of the past few years one thing is clear – cross-border cooperation within the context of the neighbourhood policy does not work. It has not been a success. Beyond a doubt, we must clarify the responsibilities of individual administrative institutions dealing with regional development, the neighbourhood policy and cross-border cooperation. Beyond a doubt, we must do something with our procedures as they are currently frightening off the regions, both European and neighbouring regions, from cooperation with the Directorate-General for External Relations. We must bring these institutions closer together.
There is also another problem. Apart from these procedural changes which are necessary, we must also do something about creating greater political transparency within the neighbourhood policy. We can clearly see that Morocco is not particularly overjoyed that it must function within the same political and financial framework as the countries of Eastern Europe. We can clearly see that Russia on the one hand wants neighbourhood privileges, but on the other treats its neighbours as European imperialists. Anyway, we certainly encourage her by constantly offering her an extremely privileged status, for example within the framework of the Partnership for Modernisation.
Therefore we have two problems to solve: firstly, procedural changes, secondly, political changes, so everyone will know what the idea of neighbourhood is based on. Is this a substitute for membership? Is this a step towards membership, or is it quite the opposite, a step towards weakening political relations between Europe and its neighbouring countries?"@en1
