"I voted in favour of this motion for a resolution because it tries to make a real contribution to relations between the EU and all the Mediterranean countries in the light of the changed conditions following the Arab Spring revolutions. On the one hand, the proposal urges the EU to act with increasing diligence to incentivise international trade together with all EU businesses looking to invest outside the EU, thereby contributing to the establishment of a free and inclusive Euro-Mediterranean market. On the other hand, the text looks at those countries that have begun their journey towards democracy since the Arab Spring to try and ensure that these people understand that economic development is possible and that it is the first step towards the prospect of a better life. My support for this initiative is due, lastly, to the fact that I consider this not only a commercial strategy for its own sake, but the start of a series of initiatives that the EU and the countries of the Southern Mediterranean must be capable of pursuing and coordinating with increasing vigour, skill and effectiveness with regard to democracy, development and the well-being of all citizens involved."@en1
