"Mr President, in Lisbon, a common horizon was set, establishing structural reforms for the modernisation of our economy, in order to increase growth and employment. However, our Union goes beyond the field of the economy. It is based on fundamental principles, listed in Article 6 of the Treaty, which many of us have seen called into question in one particular Member State. All we democrats should be delighted to see the Union immediately reacting to any apparent threat to the values on which our co-existence is based. In the PPE we have analysed – in my humble opinion, objectively and competently – the political situation in Austria and we have agreed, within our political family, on a system of conditions and of monitoring which we pray will make a positive contribution to the resolution of this crisis. These have been lively months internationally. I will now focus purely on the Middle East. Israel, Syria and the Lebanon are living through intense time in terms of national politics, as has been said this morning in this House. I believe that these circumstances offer a new opportunity for definitive peace in the region. Therefore, we have to demand of our Heads of Government and of the European Commission that they take the responsibility which the circumstances demand of the European Union, by increasing our joint political presence, of course, but also in the economic field, concluding the associations agreements once and for all, and implementing the Barcelona agreements more quickly. I hope that these events will remind us of our moral, historical, political and economic commitments to our Mediterranean neighbours, which must not be passed over in favour of other geographical areas."@en1
