"I voted in favour of the report on the EU trade and investment strategy for the Southern Mediterranean following the Arab Spring revolutions because I believe that a determined EU strategy for the development of economic and trade relations with these neighbouring countries is fundamental. Since international trade is one of the exclusive competences of the EU, given the importance of the Euro-Mediterranean strategy resulting from the Barcelona Process and in view of Article 8 of the Treaty on European Union, which states that the EU must develop a special relationship with neighbouring countries with the aim of establishing an area of prosperity and good neighbourliness, I believe that the European Union has both the legal competence and the political responsibility to trigger a serious engagement in the area. I very much welcome the introduction of the ‘more for more’ principle, since it can represent a very effective tool to enable tailor-made and bottom-up strategies, which are fundamental for tackling the different economic and societal demands of the different Southern Mediterranean countries (SMCs), while also ensuring that funding schemes, shaped according to the political and economic ambitions of SMCs, are sufficiently effective."@en1
