"Madam President, Mr Füle, we are completing today and tomorrow an important phase in our work this year. We must thank you, Baroness Ashton and your teams for your extremely active efforts throughout the year and for managing to present a reviewed neighbourhood policy which provides a much more effective response to the challenges which we have faced this year. We must also thank Mário David and Marek Siwiec for the great efforts they have made throughout the year in ensuring that Parliament reached an overall position which will help us present our view to our voters as well. I believe that they expected us to be active and present our ideas for developing relations with our neighbours both to the east and to the south. Incidentally, Parliament also made its contribution to expanding multinational cooperation at parliamentary level by creating the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly. I believe that relations with our neighbours will evolve in a positive manner, even though there will also be setbacks, which is inevitable. I still hope that an association agreement will be reached with Ukraine. I believe that fair and democratic elections will be held next year in Armenia, while Georgia will not allow any setback to occur. We must focus particular attention on relations with our southern neighbours. The fact that the parties coming to power are strongly influenced by the predominant religion in these countries is not a problem in itself. The problem will arise if we start to make compromises with them only because they have been elected democratically. A very clear response is given on this in the reviewed neighbourhood policy: we must stick to the principles on which our Union is built and on which our relations with these countries must be built."@en1
