"I actively campaign for the European Union to be a tool for transmitting our values of democracy and progress. That is why I voted in favour of the report, which recommends more efficient and targeted European action with regard to the use of the new European Endowment for Democracy (EED). It must be granted, as a priority, to our neighbours in the South and the East within the framework of the Union for the Mediterranean and the Eastern Partnership. Furthermore, support for democracy in these countries can only have positive consequences for us, both politically and economically. The report was adopted unanimously and, as the rapporteur, Alexander Graf Lambsdorff, highlights, this endowment should be able to provide ‘context-specific, flexible, timely and bottom-up assistance with rapid reprogramming’. It must also award grants directly to the beneficiaries. By avoiding duplication, this endowment should complement existing financial instruments, such as the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights."@en1
