"The report under consideration, drafted by my fellow Members, Mr David and Mr Siwiec, discusses the review of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) and could not have come at a more opportune moment. Indeed, it comes at a crucial time, at the end of a year during which significant political changes have taken place in many neighbouring countries of the EU, in particular, in Eastern Europe and on the southern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, with the so-called Arab Spring. The objective of the ENP is to support the development of neighbouring countries without imposing set formulas. However, even as the EU provides financial support, it must continue to demand that these countries make certain commitments, such as respect for human rights and for the freedoms and guarantees of their citizens, the implementation of good governance and of the rule of law, combating corruption, ensuring respect for minorities, environmental protection, and so on. The EU must maintain its contact with neighbouring countries, as we need external borders that are secure yet open to democracy, tolerance and respect. I voted for this motion for a resolution as I strongly believe that this review of the ENP will definitely help the EU to ensure that its values are respected and its objectives achieved."@en1
