"I voted for this report because respect for and the promotion of democracy and human rights are fundamental principles and aims of the EU, which must be common values at the heart of the review of the European Neighbourhood Policy. The EU has a significant interest in demonstrating its ambition in economic cooperation and in adopting a beneficial, responsible and flexible strategy, based on supporting democratic transitions and protecting human rights. I consider vital the request submitted to the Commission to continue developing the EU strategy for the Black Sea, given its importance as part of the EU’s external energy strategy, and because of its geostrategic role which gives it significant potential in terms of energy security and diversification of supply.
At the same time, I support the importance of cross-border cooperation in the Danube region, given this region’s status as Europe’s gateway to the Western Balkans, as well as the role of the EU strategy for the Danube region in improving neighbourly relations in Central and South-East Europe.
Last but not least, I believe that a well-devised Danube strategy provides an excellent means for the whole EU to develop political and economic cooperation in the Balkans and to help expand and consolidate the European integration process in the region."@en1
