"Mr President, like many of my colleagues who participated in this part of our debate, I supported Elmar Brok’s report on the common foreign and security policy. The new position of foreign and security policy in the Treaty of Lisbon grants us new prerogatives. At the same time, however, I would like to note that many events connected
with the numerous crises, including the economic crisis, have weakened interest in our neighbourhood partners, be they inside or outside Europe.
Specifically, the Arab Spring countries, such as Egypt, are drawing up new constitutions. We are not showing sufficient interest in what shape this will take. As to the Eastern Partnership, we face elections in Ukraine and in Georgia, and conflicts which have reached a deadlock such as the Transnistrian conflict or that in Nagorno-Karabakh are awaiting resolution, as are the issues of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. I am sensing what I might term fatigue, even in relation to matters relating to Ukraine, because we have been unable to resolve everything. In my opinion, Parliament should not reduce or alter its concern in relation to neighbourhood issues. Neighbourhood issues are very important to us."@en1
