"Madam President, North Africa is up in flames following the political developments in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya. This crisis is sucking in other countries in the Middle East, with unfortunate, politically dubious and ambiguous consequences. At the same time, Turkey is being given considerable autonomy by decision makers in the West, with clashes between Ankara and Israel and tighter relations between Turkey, Iran and Brazil. Turkey is also gaining autonomy from US policies for the Middle East and from European commitments on future accession to the European Union. There is continuing instability in the countries of former Yugoslavia which is feeding nationalistic groups. Finally, according to reliable international statistics, the Muslim populations which currently number 1.6 billion will rise to 2.2 billion by 2030, whereas the population of Europe will fall by 50 million.
My question is this: do European leaders understand that the destabilisation of the South will have an adverse impact both on the euro and on the geopolitical stability of the security system in the West?"@en1
