"We advocate closer relations between the Member States of the European Union and the countries of the Mediterranean, and feel that this must be developed on the basis of enhancing economic and cultural relations between these countries, respecting the interests of each and every one in order to achieve development and to improve the living standards of all peoples. This is why we are critical of the proposals put forward by the European Commission and supported by the Council to use the ‘Barcelona Process’ to undertake, in the framework of this process of association agreements with these countries and of the creation of a ‘free trade zone’, the liberalisation of services and of agriculture and, generally, the neoliberal guidelines laid down at the WTO Conference in Doha. Furthermore, we are concerned at the objective of defining the fight against terrorism as a central political priority, thereby disregarding the necessary consideration of its root causes such as, for example, the resolution of the conflict in the Middle East or in the Western Sahara, in the framework of the UN resolutions, or providing a response to the most basic needs and shortages that affect many populations, guaranteeing economic development and improving social conditions in the countries of the Mediterranean."@en1
