"I support the report, as I consider that we must reaffirm our support for the European Union’s external policies and recent enlargement processes, while always learning the lessons from all of these processes. I also believe that the social role, which is complementary to the economic role of candidate countries, should be highlighted, and that civil society in the European Union and candidate countries should be given the chance to express their opinions. As a result, I welcome the proposal to include civil society organisations, trade unions and other beneficiaries of the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance in the enlargement process, as this is vital to better tackle the social problems, labour rights and sensitive historical issues associated with ethnic and religious minorities. All this effort is essential if we want a European Union based on the values on which it was founded. Furthermore, in my opinion the European Parliament should send a clear message that, despite the economic crisis, the EU must pursue its policy of enlargement, which has proven to be a tool for consolidating democracy and stability in candidate countries."@en1
