"The review of the European Neighbourhood Policy should, first and foremost, strengthen EU support for countries on the southern shores of the Mediterranean, especially in the current crisis, both in terms of allocated resources and how they are used.
I agree with the goal of attaching greater importance to democratic reforms and rule of law issues but, as I see it, an approach based merely on differentiation according to merit or performance is not without risks of marginalisation for less virtuous nations, which pose greater problems in terms of security and stability.
The redirection of funds into areas of political reform and governance, where not accompanied by an increase in overall resources, could paradoxically lead to a reduction in aid in those socio-economic sectors which sparked the revolts in the south. The Union’s neighbourhood action must continue to be guided by uniform principles and criteria, these being the expression of a single policy, without envisaging privileged paths for some neighbours to the detriment of others."@en1
