"Mr President, I would like to warmly welcome the proposal from the Commission and the report Mrs Napoletano has produced.
There is breathtaking ambition involved here. It would be quite easy for the European Union to say it has enough on its hands dealing with enlargement and bedding down the enlargement process. However, it would be extremely short-sighted to do that, and the current idea of pushing forward with a policy in the context of developing near neighbours is extremely important.
I was struck this morning by something the Irish President said when talking about near neighbours - people who live next to each other but do not know each other, at either a local or an international level. That ignorance of each other breeds fear and distrust and eventually will breed conflict. Therefore, this near neighbourhood policy is extremely important, not only for our security but also for the security of those countries who are our neighbours.
Let us not go down the road of saying we cannot have freedom of movement from North Africa. We have freedom of movement from North Africa, we simply do not recognise it."@en1
