".
Cape Verde has set an excellent example in terms of democracy, good governance and respect for human rights, and has deep historical, social, political, cultural and geographical ties with the EU. This puts the country in a unique strategically important position for developing and deepening Euro-African relations. Cape Verde provides stability and security on one of the outer edges of the European area.
Although it represents Europe’s Southeast Atlantic border, Cape Verde has been included in other programmes, which, in themselves, do not reflect the country’s actual proximity, nor its identification with common values such as the rule of law, the promotion of good neighbourly relations and the principles of the market economy and sustainable development.
The Cape Verde authorities and the largest opposition party have been developing contacts with a view to obtaining special status or a partnership with the EU. The country’s inclusion in the neighbourhood policy could prove an important step in this direction. It would also set down an important marker in a neighbourhood policy that would be impoverished if it were focused solely on the Union’s southern and eastern borders.
I welcome the adoption of Amendments 36 and 38."@en1
