"Mr President, the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP), on the surface, claims to have aims of fostering peace, democracy and human rights in the European Union’s neighbouring countries. Whilst this is a noble aim, western intervention, as we already know, has hardly worked wonders in either the Middle East, Ukraine or North Africa. The ENP essentially amounts to the European Union using hard-pressed taxpayers’ money to foster – or, as some might even say, buy – influence to move countries closer to European Union membership.
With a cost of EUR 15.4 billion, might I respectfully suggest that, rather than looking outwards – and bearing in mind the current situation in Greece, which we have all heard about with vested interest today in Parliament – instead, the European Union would do better to put its own house in order first before seeking to expand its tentacles further."@en1
