"The purpose of the report, for which I voted, is the establishment of a European Endowment for Democracy (EED). This idea was put forward by the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs in May of this year, in the new outline of the European Neighbourhood Policy, particularly in view of the events that have taken place in the southern Mediterranean. The EED must become a priority for the EU and is intended be a semi-autonomous entity which could support democracy activists and democratic developments and also have a truly coherent and strategic approach to democratisation matters. Its operation needs to be administratively light, flexible and efficient, with straightforward mechanisms for awarding grants, in order to intervene promptly where democracy is in crisis and therefore to provide assistance with rapid reprogramming where this is needed to help facilitate democratic transition. The fund needs to encourage ‘deep and sustainable’ democracy in pre-transition, transition and post-transition countries, with a primary focus on the European Neighbourhood."@en1
