"Our idea, and I hope you will agree with it, is that it should be the Commission that coordinates the exercise. I am actually very proud of the fact that it was the Commission, together with the High Representative, that presented the blueprint for our response immediately: a partnership for democracy in North Africa and the Southern Mediterranean and also a partnership for shared prosperity. The Council now recognises that it would actually be a good thing for the Commission to coordinate the exercise, and the Commission must, of course, report to Parliament on the matter. Therefore, I can only welcome all expressions of interest and the efforts made by Parliament to be closely involved.
The events that are currently unfolding in some Arab countries are, in fact, of great strategic importance, not only for those countries, but also for global democracy, for the evolution of the Muslim world and for us here in Europe. Therefore, anything we are able to do to mobilise not only EU institutions but also our societies to help our neighbours’ transition to democracy is very important, and I can only welcome the interest shown by the European Parliament."@en1
