"Madam President, the EU Eastern Neighbourhood could prove to be the best test for EU foreign policy. The Union needs to abide by its own legal framework and particularly the EU security strategy, which underlines ‘the need to have a wealth of well-governed countries on its border’. It should also implement this in its own comprehensive strategy in order to bring about positive change.
However, the most serious impediment for the formalisation of the ENP to the east remains the unresolved conflicts in Transnistria and the South Caucasus, which are the root cause of the region’s instability and political and economic problems. It is enough to mention today’s blast in Transnistria, which severely damaged the gas pipeline.
There is an urgent need for the EU to support conflict settlement efforts, including through direct mediation, confidence building and humanitarian assistance to the millions of IDPs and refugees. That is why the EU should ensure that its considerable financial and technical support in the region is accompanied by a reinforced political presence and a well-defined conditionality."@en1
