Calls on the Commission to take a proactive approach to promoting peace and to resolving the increasing number of crises and violent conflicts around the world; welcomes the Commission’s intention to review the neighbourhood policy in order to strengthen the ability of the EU to deal with the serious geopolitical challenges we face; underlines that trade, economic links, mobility, migration and energy security are only a few of the many cross-sector issues that a new and reinforced neighbourhood policy must entail and that the promotion and respect of human rights, international law and fundamental freedoms must be a common denominator throughout; points equally to the need for a continuation of the Eastern Partnership initiative and vigorous engagement ...[+++] with the countries of the Western Balkans so that the accession–driven reform process remains in focus; stresses the need to give further technical support to the Member States and those neighbourhood countries with DCFTAs in order to ensure their full and rapid implementation and respect by all parties;

6. Considers that support for democratic transition processes should focus on developing the institutional capacity of democratic institutions, on supporting all democratic political parties and civil society and women’s and minority rights, and on enshrining in the societies of partner countries the rule of law, human rights and fundamental freedoms, in particular the freedom of association, expression, assembly and free press and media; calls on the Union and the Member States to enhance partnerships between various organisations and sectors in society in order to hand over ownership of the European neighbourhood process to them; rea ...[+++]ffirms that this should be conducted, inter alia, by creating horizontal links between different societal actors on the basis of twinning partnerships between civil society organisations (NGOs, trade unions, business organisations, media, youth organisations, etc.) and twinning projects with national authorities and administrations (especially in the education sector);

141. Acknowledges, in the wake of the Arab Spring, the focus on ‘bottom up’ tailor-made approaches and the need to move respect for human rights to the centre of EU foreign policy; therefore stresses that the EU needs to support and involve the governments, parliaments and civil society in the process of respecting and monitoring human rights; considers that the EU must learn from past mistakes epitomised by the fact that right up to the outbreak of civil war in Libya, negotiations were underway on a framework agreement and a readmission agreement with Libya, about which the European Parliament was not adequately informed, despite evid ...[+++]ence of the murder of 1 200 prisoners over a decade before and a litany of torture, enforced disappearances and extrajudicial executions; at the same time reiterates the fact that the EU's partnership in democratisation processes and economic prosperity in the South needs to run in parallel with its engagements in the Eastern neighbourhood; stresses that the funds that could not be allocated or transferred to the European Neighbourhood countries due to a negative evaluation, should be redistributed to other projects taking place in European Neighbourhood partner countries both in Southern and Eastern dimension;

8. Stresses that advantage should be taken of the educational experiences of those Member States already implementing the concept of the European Neighbourhood Policy, including initiatives such as the Centre for East European Studies in Warsaw; reminds the EU and the Member States, in this connection, of the importance of removing obstacles to the free movement of persons, and emphasises the need to liberalise the visa regime for students and young people in Eastern Partnership countries who are eager to study in EU countries; encourages the Member States to introduce free visas for students from ENP countries;
