"I voted for the excellent report by my fellow Members, Mr David and Mr Siwiec, because I agree entirely with the idea that relations with neighbouring countries cannot continue to be centred essentially on security and migration control. It is vital to give equal priority to issues relating to the defence of human rights, democracy, the rule of law and wellbeing.
The negotiation of association agreements provides the ideal opportunity to help drive forward the necessary reforms, whereby agreement will have to be reached on the concrete conditions, timetables and performance benchmarks, but it should be made clear that cooperation between these countries and the Union will be directly subordinate to real democratic progress and respect for human rights in those countries. Migratory issues between the Union and its neighbouring countries cannot be reduced to the security priorities of the EU. It is essential to improve the management and maximise the mutual benefits of migration for development, providing new ways and better conditions for the establishment of legal migrants in the EU and taking account of the demographic, sociological and professional balance on both sides, while at the same time combating the root causes of irregular migration in third countries, and taking judicial action against organisations involved in human trafficking."@en1
