"Human rights and democracy are founding values of the European Union and they must serve as a guide for its external action. This report on the European Union’s external policy in support of democracy reminds us of the actions which the EU undertakes to support democracy throughout the world: electoral observation missions, assistance with institution building, protection of human rights campaigners, support for civil society, and so on. In 2006, during the last presidential, parliamentary and provincial elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the EU sent a large team of observers mandated to verify the proper functioning of the elections and to endorse the democratic character of the results produced from the ballot boxes. I voted in favour of this report namely because it highlights the importance of establishing realistic and achievable recommendations at the end of every observation mission, the implementation of which should be supported by the EU. Providing monitoring and support is the best way of guaranteeing ownership of recommendations and thus of enabling emerging democracies to become competent in using the tools necessary for elections, which represent a key component of democracy."@en1
