"I voted in favour of this motion for a resolution on the current situation in Tunisia. I join Parliament in expressing solidarity with the Tunisian people, who, prompted by legitimate democratic aspirations and a desire for better social conditions and easier access to employment, have brought their country to a historic political watershed. In that connection, I applaud the courage and determination shown by the Tunisians during the demonstrations, and I join in condemning the repressive measures and the disproportionate force used by the security forces. I firmly support the necessary democratic process that Tunisia will undergo and stress the importance of creating appropriate conditions for elections to be held, within a time period that will allow all the opposition forces and all the media to organise themselves nationally and create the democratic basis for a new society. I welcome Parliament’s request to the Commission and the European Investment Bank to make provision for support for Tunisia in the form of loans with interest-rate subsidies in order to enable the Tunisian economy to diversify and offer young Tunisians the prospect of skilled jobs, as part of a genuine development contract to foster local and foreign productive investment."@en1
