"Mr President, relations between the old and newer neighbours play an important role in European Union foreign policy. In recent times, however, we have found out from the media that the financing of projects is in some cases quite unclear. While I would like to commend the work done by the rapporteur, as the draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Industry, Trade, Research and Energy I do have two critical observations concerning the vagueness of the European Union’s expenditures.
The first concerns the role of the European Parliament in the preparation, management and auditing of projects, which was included in the amendments proposed by the
but is not in the final text. The status of legal entity submitted concerning partners is also missing.
The second observation concerns the introduction of the Northern Dimension into the draft from the same position. The Northern Dimension is undoubtedly a most successful step by Finland in relations between the European Union and Russia. Its extent has, however, not been defined. From time to time it is presented as an immediate neighbourhood policy of the Member States – that is, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.
The third and best possibility is good-neighbourly relations between the eight Member States from the Baltic Sea region and Russia, which naturally does not rule out the involvement of other countries.
Thank you, Mr President."@en1
