"The Arab Spring has shown how urgent it is for the EU to strengthen its commitment in favour of democracy and offer appropriate assistance to the process of democratic transition across the globe. In this sense, the establishment of a European Endowment for Democracy (EED) seemed to be one of the most tangible responses by the EU to the challenges of democratisation, in our neighbourhood and beyond, and I hope that the discussions that are currently taking place in the Council will very soon lead to its implementation. With this in mind, I believe that this fund must play a synergetic and complementary role relative to the work undertaken by the EU institutions, and provide real added value by complementing the existing funding instruments. Furthermore, the mission and values of the EED must be clarified in order to establish clear criteria for the selection of beneficiaries. Moreover, in my view, it is also fundamental for its implementation to be accompanied by an adequate monitoring system aimed at assessing the effectiveness of the funding provided and the sustainability of funded actions. That is the message that I would like to send to the Council with the vote on this text."@en1
