"The popular demonstrations of 2010 and 2011 against totalitarian regimes on the southern shore of the Mediterranean have become known as the ‘Arab Spring’. Thanks to these uprisings, many peoples have won their freedom and started a process of transition to democracy. This report by Mr Lambsdorff concerns a proposal for a European Parliament recommendation to the Council on the modalities for the possible establishment of a European Endowment for Democracy. This idea has come out of the extended debate on European Union actions promoting democracy worldwide and intends to create a semi-autonomous body ‘which could support democracy activists and democratic developments around the world in an unbureaucratic way and which would not be directly associated with EU diplomacy or the European Commission’. I voted for this report and welcome the adoption of the proposal to create a ‘European Endowment for Democracy’. It is an initiative supported by the EU High Representative and Commission Vice-President, Lady Ashton, and Commissioner Füle, and was considered a priority by the Polish Presidency of the Council."@en1
