As Mr Javier Solana stressed in June 2004, this partnership is strategic for Europe, always assuming that Europe gives itself the resources to match its ambitions. First of all, the Barcelona Process must be the first pillar of the European neighbourhood policy, in as much as that policy proposes going much further than mere cooperation, extending to a degree of political and economic integration. The Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly will have to provide the democratic framework for that; it needs to be further strengthened. The European presidency of the EMPA must enable a balanced partnership to be consolidated. We should be talking about codevelopment based on common values: democracy, good governance, the status of women, sustainable development and intercultural dialogue.
As Mr. Javier Solana emphasized in June 2004, this partnership holds strategic importance for Europe, provided that Europe allocates the necessary resources to achieve its ambitions. The Barcelona Process should serve as the foundational pillar of the European neighbourhood policy, as this policy aims to go beyond simple cooperation by fostering political and economic integration. The Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly must provide the democratic framework for this integration and should be further reinforced. The European presidency of the EMPA should work to solidify a balanced partnership. The focus should be on co-development rooted in shared values, including democracy, good governance, women's rights, sustainable development, and intercultural dialogue.
Mr. Javier Solana emphasized in June 2004 that this partnership is essential for Europe, contingent on Europe providing the necessary resources to fulfill its ambitions. The Barcelona Process should be the primary foundation of the European neighborhood policy, which aims for deeper political and economic integration rather than just cooperation. The Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly needs to establish a democratic framework that requires further development. The European presidency of the EMPA should facilitate the establishment of a balanced partnership. Discussions should focus on co-development grounded in shared values such as democracy, good governance, women's rights, sustainable development, and intercultural dialogue.
In June 2004, Mr Javier Solana stressed that this partnership is vital for Europe, provided that Europe gives the resources to achieve its goals. The Barcelona Process must be the main pillar of the European neighbourhood policy, which is based on political and economic integration, not cooperation. The Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly must create a democratic structure that needs to be developed. The European presidency of the EMPA should help to create a symbiotic relationship. Co-development based on common values, including democracy, good governance, women's rights, sustainable development and intercultural dialogue, should be discussed.
Mr. Javier Solana underlined in June 2004 that this alliance is crucial for Europe, but only if Europe is willing to invest the resources to achieve its goals. The Barcelona Process must be the basis of the European neighborhood policy, which should be more than cooperation, but rather a deeper political and economic integration. The Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly must create a democratic structure that still needs to be developed. The European presidency of the EMPA should help to create a fair partnership. Discussions should be based on co-development with common values like democracy, good governance, women's rights, sustainable development and intercultural dialogue.
