"This report, drafted by Ms Kiil-Nielsen, concerns the state of implementation of the EU Strategy for Central Asia. This is a very important region for EU foreign policy that, if driven away, could hand geostrategic dominance to Russia and China. Despite problems such as the high level of poverty and drug production, which is often linked to human rights violations, it is a region rich in natural resources and could diversify supply routes, so playing a key role in increasing trade. The EU should therefore review its strategy for the countries of Central Asia, taking into account the conclusions drawn by the report, particularly through supporting projects and initiatives promoting the defence of universal values and human rights. The experience the EU has in terms of inter-regional cooperation gives it the facilitative role of mediator between the five countries in question, and could help stimulate economic development and combat unemployment. I welcome the adoption of this report, which takes particular care to choose which institutions to support, so that EU funds will not be channelled into governmental organisations or those that do not respect human rights."@en1
