"− I welcomed this document, because all social partners, including the media, should be involved in cooperation with foreign countries, particularly third countries, and we should continue to adhere to democratic mechanisms. I believe that only democracies based on the rule of law can function as a foundation for balanced structural partnerships between third countries and the EU that are also in keeping with the needs and interests of both parties and their respective populations. Partnerships based on dialogue and consultation enhance ownership of democracy-building processes and elements of democratic governance. All EU institutions must therefore make greater efforts to use these dialogues in a more coherent, consistent and coordinated manner. I also believe that the EU’s role as a ‘soft power’ in the international system can only be consolidated if protection of human rights constitutes a real priority for it in its policy towards third countries. This document also stresses the need for a paradigm shift aimed at genuine consolidation of democracy on the basis of endogenous, sustainable and comprehensive development that benefits the population and respects the rule of law and basic human rights and freedoms. The EU must encourage the establishment of an environment conducive to the development of a democratic society."@en1
