Na cestě k evropským dohodám o sousedství
Towards European neighbourhood agreements
2. zdůrazňuje cíl nesmířit se se současným stavem, nýbrž zapojit Evropskou unii do podpory úsilí obyvatel sousedních zemí o dosažení úplné politické svobody, demokracie a spravedlnosti a hospodářského a sociálního rozvoje, s využitím všech dostupných diplomatických, finančních a politických prostředků;
Emphasises its aim of not settling for the status quo but of committing the European Union to support the aspirations of the peoples of our neighbouring countries to full political freedom, with democracy and justice, and economic and social development, using all diplomatic, financial and political means available;
5. vyzývá Komisi, aby vymezila účel a zřetelné priority evropské politiky sousedství, a tím stanovila kritéria pro hodnocení výsledků, a vítá myšlenku, aby byla na konci procesu EPS zajištěna evropská dohoda o sousedství pro ty státy, které se neucházejí o členství, ale které se přiblížily souboru právních předpisů Evropské unie;
Calls on the Commission to define the purpose and clear priorities of the European neighbourhood policy , thus setting criteria for the evaluation of achievements, and welcomes the idea of providing for a European neighbourhood agreement at the end of the ENP process for those countries which are not applying for membership but which have come closer to the European Union’s body of law;
9. považuje ze důležité rozšířit program pro návštěvníky Parlamentu, a umožnit tak lidem ze sousedních zemí seznámit se s demokratickou kulturou Evropského parlamentu;
Considers it important to extend the parliamentary visitors programme so as to allow people from neighbouring countries to familiarise themselves with the democratic culture of the European Parliament;

Considers that such action plans should serve as a tool towards achievement of the goals of potential membership for those countries that are eligible and ever closer partnership for the other countries included;
15. lituje, že Komise ve svém strategickém dokumentu z května 2004 reagovala pouze na stanovisko Rady a nevzala v potaz obsáhlé usnesení Evropského parlamentu ze dne 20. listopadu 2003;
Regrets that in its strategy paper of May 2004 the Commission responded only to the Council’s opinion and ignored the European Parliament’s comprehensive resolution of 20 November 2003;
19. zdůrazňuje, že ačkoli by měl ENSP sloužit jako prostředek k prohloubení demokracie v sousedních zemích Evropy, musí být také prostředkem k zahájení procesu demokratizace nedemokratických sousedů, například Běloruska, a měl by obsahovat prostředky na pomoc pro dosažení této transformace;
Emphasises that, while the ENPI should serve as a means of entrenching democracy in Europe's neighbours, it must also be a vehicle for initiating progress towards democracy in non-democratic neighbours, such as Belarus, and should include funding to help with the achievement of that transformation;
21. zdůrazňuje, že nové členské státy EU úspěšně provedly transformační reformy potřebné k vytvoření tržního hospodářství, demokracie a občanské společnosti a získaly množství jedinečných a relevantních zkušeností s reformami, které mohou předat sousedním zemím ve východní Evropě; žádá proto Komisi, aby zřídila potřebné mechanismy, které umožní členským státům podělit se o své zkušenosti s partnerskými zeměmi EPS, a působila v tomto procesu v roli zprostředkovatele;
Stresses that the new EU Member States have successfully implemented the transitional reforms needed to create a market economy, democracy and civil society, and have obtained a wealth of unique, relevant reform experience which can be passed on to the neighbouring countries in eastern Europe; therefore calls on the Commission to establish the necessary mechanisms in order to enable the Member States to share their reform experiences with the ENP partner countries, and to act as a facilitator of this process;
27. považuje za nezbytné konsolidovat v oblasti Evropské unie informační politiku, její rozhodovací procesy a její hodnoty; vítá skutečnost, že zpravodajský kanál Euronews, financovaný EU, již vysílá i v ruském jazyce, a považuje za žádoucí, aby se totéž dělo i v arabštině;
Considers it necessary to consolidate information policy on the European Union, its decision-making procedures and its values; welcomes the fact that the EU-funded news channel Euronews is already broadcasting in Russian, and considers it desirable to do the same in Arabic;
29. naléhá na Evropskou unii, aby podepsala Evropskou úmluvu o lidských právech, a posílila tak spojení mezi rámcem Rady Evropy a EU, a postupně rozšiřovala programy Společenství v oblasti vzdělávání, kultury a výzkumu tak, aby pokrývaly státy širší Evropy;
Urges the European Union to sign up to the European Convention on Human Rights in order to strengthen the link between the Council of Europe framework and the EU and gradually to extend the Community programmes in the fields of education, culture and research to cover the Wider Europe states;
Vzájemné propojení sousedů
Linking neighbouring countries with one another
32. v této souvislosti žádá, aby se kladl větší důraz na rozvoj regionálních a subregionálních dimenzí, s ohledem na specifické zeměpisné, historické a politické aspekty, které odlišují sousední země od zemí Unie;
Calls in this connection for greater emphasis to be placed on developing the regional and subregional dimensions, in view of the specific geographical, historical and political characteristics which set the neighbouring countries apart from the Union countries;
37. za důležitý prvek považuje energetickou politiku, neboť EU je obklopena světovými největšími zásobami ropy a zemního plynu (Rusko a Kaspické moře, Střední východ a severní Afrika) a mnohé země v sousedství, např. Rusko, Alžírsko, Egypt, Libye a Ázerbájdžán, jsou dodavateli nebo, jako v případě Ukrajiny, Běloruska, Maroka, Tuniska, Gruzie a Arménie, tranzitními zeměmi, a lepší propojení energetických sítí přinese užitek EU i partnerským zemím;
Regards energy policy as an important aspect, since the EU is surrounded by the world’s largest oil and natural gas reserves (Russia and the Caspian basin, the Middle East and North Africa), and many countries in the neighbourhood, such as Russia, Algeria, Egypt, Libya and Azerbaijan are suppliers or, as in the case of Ukraine, Belarus, Morocco, Tunisia, Georgia and Armenia, transit countries, and an improvement in energy network links will benefit both the EU and its partner countries;
42. vítá otevření evropského výzkumného prostoru, které je předpokladem pro spolupráci ve společnosti založené na znalostech, a i v této oblasti vidí příležitosti k regionální spolupráci mezi partnerskými zeměmi;
Welcomes the fact that opening up the European research area is a precondition for cooperation in a knowledge-based society, and sees opportunities for regional cooperation between the partner countries in this area too;
44. je toho názoru, že také všechny kandidátské země by se měly zapojit do politiky sousedství, nejprve jako zvláštní partneři a později jako členové EU hrající zvláštní roli ve spolupráci s našimi budoucími sousedy; považuje za nezbytné, aby došlo k pokroku ve věci otevření tureckých hranic s Arménií a aby Rumunsko vyřešilo svůj územní spor s Ukrajinou v Černém moři;
Takes the view that all the candidate countries should also be involved in the neighbourhood policy, first as special partners and later as EU members playing a special role in cooperation with our future neighbours; considers it necessary for progress to be made on the opening of Turkey's borders with Armenia and for Romania to resolve its territorial dispute in the Black Sea with Ukraine;
48. vítá přiblížení Libye k Barcelonskému procesu a očekává hmatatelný pokrok při provádění ohlášeného přijetí barcelonského souboru právních předpisů, což by výhledově mohlo vést k jejímu zapojení do procesu EPS;
Welcomes the rapprochement of Libya to the Barcelona Process and expects tangible progress in implementing the announced adoption of the Barcelona body of law, which could lead to inclusion in the ENP process in the fullness of time;
Blízký východ a Mashreq
Middle East and Mashreq
50. vítá skutečnost, že Jordánsko a Egypt aktivně podporují mírový proces na Středním východě; je toho názoru, že EPS má všemi dostupnými prostředky podporovat první známky demokratické obnovy v regionu Mashreq, zejména po cedrové revoluci v Libanonu;
Welcomes the fact that Jordan and Egypt are actively supporting the Middle East peace process; takes the view that the ENP should with every available means support the latest signs of democratic renewal in the Mashreq region, particularly after the Cedar Revolution in Lebanon;
53. naléhá na egyptské úřady, aby nezhatily vyhlídky, která se nedávno otevřely především v souvislosti s prezidentskými volbami s více kandidáty, a aby pokračovaly v demokratických reformách;
Urges the Egyptian authorities not to undermine the prospects recently opened up with regard, in particular, to multi-candidate presidential elections, and to press ahead with democratic reforms;
54. vítá pokojnou revoluci a demokratické hnutí na Ukrajině; uznává evropské aspirace Ukrajiny a vyzývá k vytvoření dlouhodobého evropského výhledu; podporuje akční plán a desetibodový plán paní Ferrero-Waldnerové a pana Solany, který je ambiciózním a významným programem; potvrzuje svou plnou podporu nové ukrajinské vládě při provádění ohlášeného souboru reforem;
Welcomes the peaceful revolution and the democratic movement in Ukraine; recognises Ukraine's European aspirations and calls for a long-term European perspective to be established; supports the action plan and the Ferrero-Waldner/Solana ten-point plan, which represent an ambitious and substantial programme; confirms its full support for the new Ukrainian Government in implementing the announced reform package;

The Rapporteur seeks a clearer definition of the purpose of the ENP from the Commission and aims to set out policy priorities according to the views of the Parliament, such as improved access to the single market, and in some cases the possible eventual conclusion of "Neighbourhood Agreements" and the establishing of fully fledged Free Trade Agreements with the EU; participation in the ESDP/CFSP; better focus on drug, weapons and people trafficking; and exchange of criminal intelligence between national agencies.
