BRUSSELS 05/12/06: EU Commissioner for External Relations and European Neighbourhood Policy,
Benita Ferrero-Waldner, set out yesterday new proposals to strengthen and further develop the
European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP).
The
European Liberal Youth (LYMEC), youth organization of the ELDR Party and ALDE Group in the European Parliament, wishes to express its satisfaction with some of the strong statements contained in the Commission’s Communication about the
absurd bureaucracy of visa procedures for EU neighbours, but at the same time wishes to stress its fundamental disagreement with parts of the general ENP strategy outlined in that Communication.
