"Mr President, I supported Mrs De Keyser’s report. Democracy is the best safeguard of human rights and fundamental freedoms; it also guarantees tolerance of all groups in society and equal opportunities for all individuals. Europe must offer its neighbouring countries something more than just a stick to lean on. For example, genuine economic cooperation and support would promote economic growth, which in itself supports democratisation. Genuine democracy, however, always and only comes from within, from the people, and it cannot be forced on people from outside or from above. Refusing economic cooperation purely on ideological grounds is hard to justify. Europe would stand to lose out if its eastern and southern neighbouring countries decided to turn away from a common European future. Of course, not all can be offered a future as a Member State of the EU."@en1
