"We are talking about one of the core policies of the European Union, and I am pleased to be able to thank Mr Tannock for a very good report, and you, Commissioner, for ambition of the highest order. EU security is vitally dependent on the quality of democracy and economic development among our neighbours. I support the clearly expressed political will that we will not be satisfied with the status quo for pragmatic reasons, but will actively support the development of democracy, respect for human rights and the development of a social market economy on a permanent footing amongst neighbouring countries. I especially support the appeal to the Commission to establish clear criteria for assessing the political achievements of our neighbours, and I assume that respect of human rights will occupy a key position among these criteria. I must reiterate the exceptional importance of regional cooperation, as well as projects at a local level. Moreover, as part of any action programmes I would also like to see youth cooperation projects, and in particular projects aimed at the development of civil society. May I close with an expression of strong support for the opinion regarding the OSCE and the Council of Europe. I firmly believe that the European Union can and must achieve more through the OSCE than it has to date, including in regions beyond the borders of our closest neighbours, and I have in mind in particular Central Asia. Thank you for your attention, and I hope that in future we might also strengthen the parliamentary dimension of our cooperation."@en1
