"The Arab Spring is the greatest political transformation in the European neighbourhood since the fall of the Berlin Wall and has offered the EU the opportunity to match its foreign policy with its commercial interests. As such, achievements in terms of democratic reforms and individual freedoms should be mirrored by a similar process in the economic landscape. It is in this field that the EU will have an important role to play, provided that appropriate political, social and environmental commitments are made and met by Southern Mediterranean countries. Some of this report’s proposals concern the European Investment Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The former is key to helping small and medium-sized enterprises, through granting micro-credit. In turn, the latter should make use of the experience acquired in Eastern Europe when making its contribution. The set of objectives to be achieved include creating the Euro-Mediterranean Free Trade Area and facilitating knowledge and direct contacts through exchanges between students and the business communities in Europe and Southern Mediterranean countries. This is a unique opportunity for Europe to show political leadership, so I voted for this report."@en1
