Proceeding contribution from Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 October 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

The first thing that we have done is to help to change the European neighbourhood policy to ensure that it is much more engaged with Libya, Tunisia and Egypt, and to put in much more conditionality so that there is progress towards rights and democracy in the countries that we are helping. In addition, we have a significant bilateral programme. It is essential to help those countries develop the building blocks of democracy, such as political parties, and understand the importance of civic society. The Department for International Development and others can help with that.
