European Parliament
Maria Da Graça Carvalho  (PPE ),

I voted for this initiative because, with the profound changes taking place in the southern Mediterranean since the Tunisian revolution and subsequent events in neighbouring countries, it is important that the EU do even more to support the aspirations of people in these countries, now that these aspirations are shared by their leaders. The Kingdom of Morocco committed itself to a global process of political, economic and social reform several years ago and the EU has constantly supported Morocco in its efforts to implement its reform programme.
