"Mr President, Commissioner, in our view there are two basic elements here.
The first is the issue of democracy, which means full involvement of the European Parliament in decisions on macro-financial assistance (MFA), its implementation and its suspension. Given that these are not technical or executive decisions, it is important that Parliament always be called upon to give its opinion.
The second is political conditionality. As has already been pointed out, there is no point in setting up a European External Action Service if it is not fully involved in decisions as important as macro-financial assistance; there is no point in focusing on human rights and then failing to take them into account when making important decisions.
I will add a third issue, which I regard as important: Central Asia is not mentioned explicitly among the beneficiaries of MFA, even though they are countries with which we have important economic relations. The European Union has its own specific strategy on Central Asia and it is vital that macro-financial assistance be one of its pillars."@en1
