lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would firstly like to congratulate the rapporteurs, Mrs Muscardini and Mr Naïr, on the excellent work they have done on an issue as sensitive as the conflict in this part of the world. I would also like to start my speech by informing Parliament – I believe this is good news – about the MEDA programme, with which perhaps some of you are already familiar. On 12 December the Council approved a budgetary contribution in this regard, which represents an increase of 10% on the annual investment for the MEDA programme. This means that, compared to the EUR 684 million used during the previous period, that annual contribution will now total EUR 764 million per year. I believe that this demonstrates the goodwill that dominates relations between Parliament, the Commission and the Council in this field. On the other hand – and unfortunately – we must note, however, that sufficient means are not being made available to find an appropriate destination for this aid, since, in the period 1995-1999, almost 30% of the budgeted aid was not implemented. This is disappointing management. I do not know what the problem is, but there is a problem. Furthermore, I would like to refer to the social, cultural and human dimension of these 15 North African countries, to which our various societies must move closer, and with whom we must promote comprehension and improve mutual understanding. It also requires a special effort in terms of the teaching and training of young people, which must be based on tolerance, since young people are the future of these nations. Neither must we forget dialogue, as well as the promotion of fundamental rights. Finally, I would like to say one thing: we have an obligation to do this well, because if we do not do it out of love, we will have to do it out of fear, because what is at stake is the security of southern Europe."@en1
