lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I would first of all like to thank the rapporteurs, Mr David and Mr Siwiec, for the excellent work they have done and, above all, for the excellent cooperation in the Committee on Foreign Affairs. We have two different neighbouring regions, one to the east and one to the south. Naturally, there are certain fundamental principles we hold in common. The most significant of our shared neighbours to the east is Russia. This can sometimes make life difficult. I believe, however, that the European Neighbourhood Policy should act as a signal to Russia that we intend to recognise our neighbours as independent countries. They are our partners and must make decisions for themselves, including, for example, in relation to Ukraine’s association agreements. Nonetheless, as I have said, we certainly want to see them as friends, and we also want them to enjoy friendly relations with Russia. We must, however, fully recognise the independence of our neighbours. Naturally, we also want the closest possible relations with these neighbouring countries. As Commissioner Füle has already clearly stated with regard to our southern neighbourhood, it is very important for us that we should not simply take one or other election result we do not like as a reason to abandon these relationships to some degree, or to place them on the back burner. When we hear of election results that alarm us, because they seem to strengthen Islamist or fundamentalist forces, this makes it all the more important to enter into dialogue with the countries in question, with their people and, of course, with their governments. That is the message from our two rapporteurs. Let us allow our neighbours a genuine opportunity for true partnership. This is an offer from the European Union that they really should accept."@en1
