lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I think that I will have a coffee with Mr Provera in order to continue this discussion. On a more serious note, I would like to say a few words about the report by Richard Howitt, which, in my opinion, is excellent. It might be possible to pass nearly all the amendments. However, I would like to raise two points. The first point is the defence of gays and lesbians. This point has been ignored in the new draft and I find that regrettable. I think, Baroness Ashton, that the European External Action Service, everyone in fact, has strived to ensure that the rights of gays and lesbians be fully respected, in our partnerships at any rate. There is still a lot of work to do and we encourage you, Baroness Ashton, to resume work on this issue. The second point that I would like to come back to is the European Neighbourhood Policy and the ‘more for more’ principle. We have complete confidence in the Council, the Commission and your services, but nevertheless, we fear that this new neighbourhood policy sometimes remains just as blind as the previous one with regard to the situation in the countries where we have interests, in cases when they are allies. That is why we want to make it operable. Richard Howitt put it very well. We want a method, we want criteria, we want to measure improvements in democracy and human rights and we really want to see some genuine ‘more for more’, which is both measurable and has teeth. I believe that it is absolutely essential and that it represents a genuine will for change, something which Parliament will affirm when it votes on this report."@en1
