"The soul of the report reflects the liberal focus of the EU: it characterises the uprisings in the region as an opportunity to open up the economies of the region and create a true market economy. The report also welcomes the opening of negotiations on deeper and more comprehensive free trade areas with Egypt, Jordan, Morocco and Tunisia, as well as the role of the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which have played a part (the EIB is still doing so) in privatisation processes in those countries. Precisely because of the spirit and the demands of the Arab Spring, because of the role the EU has played in the region, being complicit in the dictatorships, because of the fragility that some North African states are still experiencing, I voted against to make it clear that the solutions being proposed will crush prosperity and stability in the region. The EU is taking advantage of the weakness of some of these countries in order to impose free trade."@en1
