Implementation and review of the EU-Central Asia Strategy (debate)

  Tamás Meszerics, rapporteur. Mr President, as usual I have learnt a lot during the debate, and even more so during the entire process of guiding the report through the negotiations. I have just a few brief points on some of the notions mentioned in the debate. As for having a forward—looking attitude in our programmes and in our strategy, indeed, yes – nobody would want to contradict that. As for the notion that we should acknowledge progress when it takes place, I am also in full agreement, and I would like to emphasise both clauses of the sentence: ‘acknowledgment of progress’ and ‘when it really takes place’. And finally, as for the clear and consistent policies sorely missed by my colleague Mr Carver from the EU strategy, may I remind him that the historical record of Great Britain in that complicated region during the time of the great game is not much more impressive than ours, and I hope we could be somewhat more transparent than that.
