"Under Article 8 of the Treaty on European Union, the Union shall develop a special relationship with neighbouring countries, aiming to establish an area of prosperity and good neighbourliness. Respect for, and the promotion of, democracy and human rights, especially those of women, are fundamental principles of the European Union and must constitute common values shared with partner countries of the European Neighbourhood Policy. Today’s popular uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya are the consequence of the people’s general discontent with their own totalitarian regimes, and it is spreading throughout the entire eastern region. In view of this changed social and political landscape, the EU must make effective adjustments to its neighbourhood policy in order to give effective support to the reform process in the areas of human rights and democracy. The EU must define in detail the strategic priorities pursued in the partnerships with its eastern and southern neighbours. I should like to see the Union take action sustained by the will to initiate a process of democratisation, in particular, with regard to greater participation by women in public life and better planning of socio-economic development."@en1
