Proceeding contribution from Jo Swinson (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 February 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on EU Council and North Africa.
EU Council and North Africa
I welcome the European Council's strong position of support for the Egyptian people, particularly with regard to assistance with the transition to democracy. However, building new Government structures is not straightforward and should not be rushed, and that is why it needs to start now. Will the Prime Minister ensure that in providing assistance, the EU draws on the expertise of organisations such as the Westminster Foundation for Democracy and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation, both of which have a wealth of expertise in supporting fledgling democracies and working in Egypt?
