"Mr President, the political consequences of the Arab Spring give us hope for unfettered cooperation and development within the Southern Partnership. Trade has always been one of the strongest pillars of the neighbourhood policy. Unlike various aspects of the common foreign policy, trade guarantees coherent action that brings benefits to Member States. The ‘more for more’ principle is the right way to establish wholly democratic rules for trade and economic policy, without the need to conclude agreements with oligarchs, as was the case in the past.
The governments of partner countries must, however, make a serious commitment to opening markets bilaterally. For this reason, I agree with the proposal to make greater efforts as regards countries that display a readiness to undertake concrete reforms. I am encouraged by the drafts under negotiation for in-depth and comprehensive free trade agreements with Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt and Jordan. I am also counting on the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development increasing investment in the Mediterranean area, and for this reason, I support the report."@en1
