"There can be no denying that the events of last spring have profoundly changed the outlook of all countries on the southern shores of the Mediterranean: they have escaped from regimes that had been in power for several decades and often dominated by a charismatic leader. We should therefore look favourably on a change that brings greater democracy and participation, while being wary about how the various situations are dealt with. Pretty much everywhere, where more or less ‘free’ elections have been organised, the Islamic fundamentalist parties have done very well, influencing the political and social climate as a result. Therefore, it looks a bit risky to me to embark this early on such important initiatives with these countries, which still do not offer the necessary guarantees, especially in terms of social and economic stability. Europe was wrong to behave in an almost servile way with the previous leaders, but I do not want Europe to make another mistake by launching itself enthusiastically into new relationships, especially where trade is concerned, which I would not want us to regret quite quickly. That is why I decided to vote against this report."@en1
