"I voted in favour of this report because current events should encourage us to reform the neighbourhood policy, not just to refocus it. In economic, trade and political terms, respect for rights and freedoms should be, at the same time, conditions and objectives of our cooperation. The financial assistance that the EU provides to this end should be markedly increased and should fulfil those same conditions and objectives. We should also relaunch the Union for the Mediterranean on a moral basis in terms of its requirements and on a practical basis in terms of its achievements. Our cooperation should no longer be restricted to exchanges with the ruling authorities: the European Union should make it a priority to speak to the various members of civil society and to encourage the emergence and organisation of political pluralism in that region. By encouraging the introduction of legitimate, organised changeovers of power, we will not face a dilemma between unconditional support to governments for the sake of stability and chaos. Moreover, by basing our cooperation on values this time, we will give it the popular legitimacy and the continuity necessary to meet the historic challenges of that region."@en1
