"I voted in favour of this resolution on EU external policies in favour of democratisation, because social justice and combating inequality must be the key objectives of EU external policies. Cooperation with foreign countries, particularly third countries, must adhere to democratic mechanisms. It should involve all social partners, including the media. It should be noted that our experience of democratic transition should be shared with the newly emerging democratic forces in North Africa and the wider Middle East. I welcome the proposal to establish a European Endowment for Democracy to assist political actors striving for democracy in undemocratic countries and those in transition, particularly in the EU’s eastern and southern neighbourhood. Furthermore, the EU must pursue a coalition with the United States more actively, in the realm of the common efforts of the EU and the US to better coordinate their development policies. It is also crucial to develop a more open and dynamic social driving force and stakeholder support policies promoting citizens’ participation. We need to promote close cooperation between the public and private sectors, build the capacity of civil society and create the environment for it to participate in political processes."@en1
