I voted in favour of the
resolution on EUROMED, because I believe we should also look to the South, where the Mediterranean, North Africa, and the Middle East are of the utmost importance to the European Union and not only for reasons of geography. Our political and strategic partnership must, therefore, definitely go beyond the economic and financial level and attempt to bridge the gulf that exists between current living standards in the various parts of the Mediterranean.
Contributing to the privatisation of economies, to support for small and medium-sized businesses that create employment, which help to stabilise immigration in the countries of origin, and contributing to eliminating illiteracy, accepting education as one of the most important factors for development, and increasing cooperation in the field of justice, the fight against drugs, organised crime and terrorism, constitute key priorities that add to the dialogue between cultures and civilizations.
Much, therefore, remains to be done, starting with the institutionalisation of the Euro-Mediterranean parliamentary assembly. I hope, then, that the Naples Ministerial Conference is a success."@en1
