"The idea of a European Endowment for Democracy has been introduced into the more general EU debate on the review of the EU’s policies and actions promoting democracy, following the events in the southern Mediterranean. The intention is to set up a semi-autonomous entity which could support democracy activists and democratic developments around the world in an unbureaucratic way and which would not be directly associated with EU diplomacy or the Commission. This idea was put forward by the EU’s High Representative and Commission Vice-President Ashton and Commissioner Füle in the new outline of the European Neighbourhood Policy, presented in May of this year, and later endorsed in the June Council Conclusions. The Polish Council Presidency made the EED one of its presidency priorities and worked with all stakeholders to advance the idea. It is now up to Parliament to give its constructive contribution to the debate which has advanced rapidly in the last weeks and make sure that Parliament will be involved in the setting up, the governance structure and the scrutiny of this European fund should it happen."@en1
