"As part of the European Neighbourhood Policy, development cooperation objectives, especially the eradication of poverty, need to play an increasingly important role in ensuring the stability of these regions exerting a major impact on the European Union. The efforts aimed at establishing democracy are directly conditional upon improving citizens’ living conditions, creating a strong civil society, guaranteeing press freedom and strengthening democratic institutions.
Against the backdrop of the economic crisis, there is the risk that intensive migration from the southern and eastern neighbourhoods to the EU will contribute to internal tension, as happened in the case of the refugee crisis on the island of Lampedusa. We must draw the necessary conclusions from this situation to adapt the relevant EU policies, so as to avoid turning this into a precedent.
There is a strong link between migration and the development of partner countries in the south and east. In this regard, I believe that we can turn migration into a platform for dialogue and cooperation.
Last but not least, I must highlight the need to step up cooperation with our eastern partners to avoid the risk of neglecting this aspect of the neighbourhood policy.
The controversial elections which took place on Sunday in Transnistria remind us that this unresolved conflict, right on the EU’s doorstep, is still a major risk factor for European stability."@en1
