Like a marriage of convenience "during these weeks, the European Union and Morocco are planning to renew their vows, or not. In particular, it is elucidated in separate tables by maintaining the fishing and agricultural agreements that have implications on many rural areas of Morocco, Western Sahara and some European countries, mainly Spain.

one hand, at the end of the month end the current agreement on fishing permits to 119 boats fishing licenses European fish in Moroccan waters. Of these, one hundred will correspond to the English fleet. Europe-pay-pay 36.1 million euros for vessels to fish in these fisheries, including the territorial waters of Western Sahara. The latest report says that the European Commission has formally proposed to extend the fishing agreement for one year, time to evaluate and analyze its consequences. Now is the ratification of the 27 states and the European Parliament for a convention more than doubtful whether or not continued in force.

I say dubious because many commentators are pointing to its illegality. Of all the voices that question legal report stresses that Parliament itself determined over a year ago that the current agreement did not respect international law, because the Sahrawi people, whose waters are extracted great wealth, did not benefit from it. The same is expressed, of course, representatives of the Polisario Front to the European Union. If there are doubts that undermine the right of a people and a population impoverished and punished, should not have another position to follow the path of the unknown? If Parliament is correct, it would seem more sensible to halt the deal while analyzing all its implications, and not vice versa.

The opposite has happened with review of the agricultural agreement between Morocco and the European Union, roughly, is the increasing liberalization of trade for food products can flow more easily between the two regions. The International Trade Committee of the European Parliament decided on Feb. 8 to delay the process of ratification of a new framework, arguing that Brussels should be clarified before the legal doubts aroused by the agreement on the territories of Western Sahara, where, as in For fishing, so trade liberalization actually benefits the local population and if these are the real interests of the people of Western Sahara.

For agriculture, besides the legal conflict with the Sahrawi land, where since 1989 and there are foreign firms, such as the French Azura, growing tomatoes under plastic sold in the European Union,'s own studies impact made by the European Commission warned that more trade liberalization in the Mediterranean area will have some big losers. In Europe, especially southern regions specializing in the production of fruits and vegetables, may not face competition from the neighboring Mediterranean and the already reduced agricultural population suffer a new stake. Agricultors Joves Ramaders de Catalunya i already made their first estimates, "Tariffs, for example, be reduced by 30% in citrus orange and Morocco will have an entry price of 0.264 euros / kg, when the production cost of Catalan is 0.514 euros / kg ".

Moreover, in its specialization in these products for export, countries like Morocco will be losing their own food sovereignty to the progressive abandonment of their own productions, which means they are vulnerable to swings in the markets, as we have apparent in the recent crises in Tunisia and Egypt. And again, these agreements also benefit from liberalizing the rural population local. The false myth of exports as a source of wealth is again evident. Morocco and exported to Europe, but they do small farmers but the farmers, investors and exporters -both Maghrebi and European-industrial models that lower costs by reducing jobs, availability of labor conditions misery, exploitation of water resources and observing environmental measures sufficient to ensure sustainability of the soil. 20% of the fertile surface and is oriented Moroccan industrial crop for export, and in so far as to encourage, as is already doing through the Plan Green Morocco, will bring more benefits to their owners, members of the royal family, local entrepreneurs and English and European companies that have moved their production (eg, 80% of Moroccan strawberry export is in the hands of English businessmen.) This will reduce the opportunities for large numbers of small farmers that have been guaranteed so far
food security of local people.

says Abdellatif Laâbi that "Morocco is managed as a multinational company whose purpose is to enrich their unlimited shareholders (...)." If civil society, which does not benefit of these businesses, hits the streets as their neighbors, what arguments will manage the Government of Spain, married to the multinational?

"My" solution

During my childhood, the magical and colorful 80's, my computer loaded Zx Spectrum numerous war games in which many of the missions were spent in what was then a citizen of the "axis of evil"-long before that term was coined. It was a white desert in the light of the moon, devoid of structures and buildings, swift passing under the nose of my plane or helicopter, flying ceiling to avoid detection by enemy radar. The goal used to be a tent, a huge tent in the desert camouflage, where intelligence services said one such sleep that night Gaddafi ( http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muammar_al-Gaddafi ) to the then Muslim leader, sponsor of some of the wildest terror attacks against the West.

in Libyan territory, it was said then, were all those terrorists who acted in the bloody 80 in Vienna, Rome, Berlin. They learned to plant explosives, handle and clean your AK-47, to kill children redheads. And all the mythical Gaddafi financed, and was so known to all, and longed for death to Western intelligence services ", which the man in question never slept, it was said in the same place, never under Western view of the satellites, but moved his tent every night, from one point to another in the desert.

After that, the Spectrum games became better life and as if it were a parallel also hatred Gaddafi suddenly stopped being encouraged. Quite the contrary, European leaders took place pictures shaking hands with this man's dark cloth wrapped in clear and gold beads.

is difficult to explain this change in attitude of the international community and incompatible with the faith that one can have in their institutions or their leaders. If Libya is going to what they say the news, what do you expect Europe to act?, Europe is not the first to admit his lack of weight and diplomatic role in the world?, And what better time to take charge of UN and leading a rapid and effectively stop the genocide that is taking place at the gates of his house?, why wait?, what the blood soak the mat?.

I keep asking myself what the Europeans pay, manufacture and maintain effective war machines such as the Eurofighter (see my amazement at http://willparkersblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/fiesta-de-la- ground-and-the-cielo.html ) then if they do not serve to stop massacres, like the present. I believe that all citizens would be much more consistent in using these powerful military tools to stop domestic killings and satraps and overthrow dictators, rather than invade countries in the interest of sus yacimientos petrolíferos.

Y no se trata de invadir Libia con fuerzas de ocupación extranjera, ni de mantener allí un ejército internacional con un sangriento coste, lento y continuo, de jóvenes vidas al estilo de lo sucedido en Irak. En Libia el pueblo ha iniciado ya el derrocamiento de la actual facción dictatorial liderada por Gaddafi, pero dicha facción está dispuesta a utilizar todo su mortífero poder para aplastar la revuelta de los insurgentes.

Quizá sea un inocente (en realidad, sé que lo soy) o haya visto demasiadas películas de acción, pero parece tan sencillo: un selecto escuadrón de asalto de fuerzas de operaciones especiales, como los SAS británicos, supported by helicopters, guarded by fighters, AWACS and satellites, makes a quick and discreet raid on Tripoli, he enters the bunker, Gaddafi stops and takes him in handcuffs to Criminal Court in The Hague for trial immediately. Direct flight.

should be left alone in the bunker a short note paper, led to Gaddafi's henchmen and the military tempted by the sudden power vacuum:

had all the proposed new dairy-up, I just buy some utensils were missing but it never hit me, my savings depleted. The last years have been terrible for my small beef farm. In our area two brands control the entire purchase of milk and mark prices ever lower. Rising grain prices for feed, I concluded. The more produced, the more lost. I

being a venture that would generate at least a couple of jobs, the administration would support me. In the Department of Agriculture who asked for a thousand euros in aid, they said that " not, we are funding this. With the cuts, the budget subsidies has vanished. " Ironically coach decided that "surely, those funds will bail out a bank."

Well, if the money flew into a bank, I went to some of them. Perhaps, these newcomers thousand euros would be available. But no, I was told in several branches, "we have no liquidity, and we can not risk projects such as theirs. "

back home I could not help wondering, then what banks do with all that are given to sanearles? What do they spend? I thought the salaries of managers, but had to be other destinations. So the next day I visited other bank branches with another strategy and consulted them about a thousand euros that was saved. Where do could invest?

I had several proposals. In the first bank offered me an investment fund linked to agribusiness, so invest in one of the best companies in the sector agri-insurance, be listed on the rise. In the second I had a fund linked to the cereals. "It's a good time, with drought and increasing demand, the price of grain is going up like wildfire," said the employee.

understood many things: a thousand euros of public money that could revitalize local economies, is one million euros to increase the power of agribusiness that colossus of monopoly strangle me, or are hedge funds that I ruined my production costs increased.

NOTE: Yesterday I received a communication from the Department of Agriculture. I have to pay a penalty for selling milk directly to customers without any permit. Amount due: thousand euros.

On Tuesday, Ashton visit Egypt. Be the first (1) does diplomatic representative in the post-Mubarak. The reaction and reception that will provide the institutions and the Egyptian society will be a good indication of the image and perception is now the Union abroad. As noted in repeated occasions on this blog * * * * * , have reason to believe that the role of Europe in recent months may be perceived as 'hypocritical', 'interested' and 'accomplice'. Visit Egypt so quickly is not without risks. Maybe even be considered a 'reckless' diplomatic, and regardless of whether it goes well or goes wrong, can have a symbolic and media at the regional level. Ashton will be the with a population in a state of shock, especially "sensitive" after a rise of liberation and national pride.

On his return, Ashton has been scheduled for Wednesday, an international conference in Brussels (to be attended by diplomats from the United States, North Africa, Japan and financial institutions) to agree a joint strategy in the face of changes to take in the region.

Things seem to move. Pending seen to stop.

Update 1: Ashton will not be the 'first' representative to visit Egypt. It has been 24 hours in advance Cameron who wish to visit the Mediterranean country 'surprise' on Monday. The first British visit, just the day the foreign ministers were meeting with the High Representative for 'coordinating' a common response at EU level is at least 'amazing'. Short wild, totally unjustified and very open to criticism by the English, and good indication of the lack of care with which the UK sees the work of fellow and head of Foreign Affairs of the Union.

Hello!

After recent posts about the performance of Catherine Ashton complemented with first-hand documents that give us the responsible policy. One of the features of the Union is the amount of information available. That after such content 'get' the citizen depends on several factors, starting with our lack of interest and the secondarization the Community now that we have used the public and mainstream media (no continuity there can be no deep or understanding). Precisely because we have more complicated at the community level, without an intermediate thickness digest we currently have to make a double effort to review and compare with original sources. Websites: Homepage European External Action Service ; news section ; statements; agenda for next week .

Moving on, this week may mark a "turning point" important in the way the European Union, specifically the High Representative has been managing the wave of riots. On Monday (1) meets the Council of EU Foreign Affairs (mess with the 'tips' to reread this post ). On the web Council can continue to live some sessions, and access to all press briefings, deliberations ... The meeting this week will mark the 'tone' with which Europe will be positioned in future developments. We will have more clues on how to take the 'help' to which we are committed to the process of democratic consolidation. It will be especially good indicators to assess the ability of Ashton and foreign ministers to deal with unforeseen situations and changing (as the escalation of terrible abuses in Bahrain, Libya, Yemen, contexts not included on the official agenda of the meeting). Finally, we have clues about the extent to which humanitarian impact and immigration will be managed by a community strategy (post: Operation Hermes Lampedusa, Bruxelles 2) (...)

Update 1: You can check the conclusions adopted on Monday, 21 by the Council of Foreign Affairs here. End points include Bahrain, Libya and Yemen, although not in the original agenda. It urges "further discussion" format to be taking the 'package' of assistance to the region (with the aim of take such measures at the European Council of March or in future meetings of the Council of Foreign Affairs). It mentions a new 'strategy' was the region which can perhaps be sensed as the beginning of the end of an empty project and lacks credibility, as the Union for the Mediterranean.

For Ramon

Menudo problem. In his daily task rightful day in and day out to speak in public. Lectures, speeches, debates, symposia .... and always has to say two words, one after the other, accelerate his eyes, his heart gives a big shake and his voice tangled. How do then to keep her composure every time he says' communities peasant '? Well, does nothing, does nothing, because there is nothing to undo.

This commitment by the rural world afforded him a surprise and last few years, their work is, government offices, to coordinate policies in this regard in his country. A guideline should guide all decisions. Again, two words, one after the other and without disturbing, 'Food Sovereignty'.

neighboring countries, and the distant, peasant movements there, and here, the cooperation agents ... are well aware of the steps they take. In this as in other cases, policies are pioneers. Doctor-ask-what how to achieve that Food Sovereignty? And he speaks of land reform, laws, farmer participation, appropriate technology, ... buff, all key, critical and very expensive. Contradictions and setbacks.

Although there are small successes. Note that the first days in office was to visit a rural public school near the coast. When he saw as serving food to children macaroni and fish imported from Spain imported from Portugal. So I sat down at his colleagues and presented a first idea: the food the government buys for schools must be national. A few months later he traveled toward the Sierra, more than 2,500 meters and took the opportunity to visit the village school. At breakfast time served canned sardines. Yes, they were the country, but girls and boys in the mountains or they liked, and fit them well. Back to the capital again to gather his team and he was more specific: the food that the government buys for schools that buy in their own families of children.

And there's a simple formula to ensure cultural and nutritionally adequate food , while generating income for the peasant class. With potatoes, corn, quinoa ...

Among the concerns and criticism

As I mentioned in my last post, there is an emerging line of argument can justify the slowness and lack of strategic vision Ashton due to 'lack of resources', the' many voices' or 'condition unanimity among states. " You can read about the very article in The Guardian Ashton ' U.S. Wants' deep democracy 'to take root in Egypt and Tunisia ' as well as the positive reading of the text makes Carlos Carnero . To this we might add the arguments wielded by the High Representative in response to criticism it received from the European Parliament in full Egyptian revolt.

follow that line I think is a mistake. The means by which one has no excuse enough to justify the content. Solana, with less 'media', managed to impose their own profile, strong and unmitigated, emphasizing an identifiable image of the European Union. Significantly have to be the President of the European Parliament the "single" EU High Representative who can react and give it a more personal and less ambiguous about Egypt. Just him, who in principle has no competition on that topic, instead of Ashton, was who conveyed better than anyone that ' Europe is next to the Egyptian people' . The lack of Ashton does not justify in any way the tone (impersonal, cold, distant), the quantity (2 releases no more than 20 lines) and the broadcast system (always written communication) by which it is addressed to Egyptian people and the international community. Similarly, it is sustainable (politically incomprehensible) the argument that the 'many voices' nullify or preclude in the least that Ashton will do his duty 'constitution' of having their own.

In his article (longer than all reported together) Ashton concludes that 'the EU is Perhaps Not Always the Fastest on the way in, But Often the One That stays the longest. We Do not do regime change, pero system change. " From a purely formal political science argument is surprising. The ' system change' advocated by Ashton-which is sensed using like I can balance or replace the 'Not Always The Fastest ' - does not in any form the ability to defend or simply positioned in relation to a ' regime change. " One of the conditions of nature for the establishment of a consolidated democratic system is precisely the end of 'authoritarian'. The differentiation between these two elements leads to conclusions at least troubling. The fact that the EU is a priority 'consolidation' beyond the 'implementation' of democracy does not prevent or relieve it of any way to make judgments about what other people do or do not made-especially when it comes to countries that maintain trade and economic agreements. The consolidation does not negate the importance of implementation. Behind the 'no interference' have been shielded and 'legitimate' all authoritarian, and not to discredit a possible "intervention" abroad, but to delegitimize the smallest plurality of views. Let us carefully on how to present things and how we use the argument of 'non-interference. "

If there is anything worse than an error in politics is the inability to assume the responsibility you have. There is no justification when relativized to democracy or human rights. What in any case there are apologies and solutions. The European Union has much to offer. And not all are errors. But with that attitude, we run the risk that we do not want (post: A rendez-vous au Caire: euh ... ca vous going in september? in Bruxelles2 on the issues being raised Ashton intend to visit Egypt) . Sooner or later Europe will answer the unsettling question of whether the Tahrir square too sing 'Europe, Europe', as he sang 'Obama, Obama, Obama. " What counts is not just being the major partner of democracy, but be perceived as such.

The beginning of the end

I have the perception that what is happening in the Maghreb is something that the generation of late 70's and 80 had never witnessed. Most 'live' the fall of the Berlin Wall, but we remember a little and did not have enough background to understand their meaning.

on regime change that is taking shape in Egypt much has been written and "reading" of the events are not limited to present circumstances. The process is long and understand its consequences as well. Anyway, I leave a small selection of articles and posts that have emerged and I discuss some of the ' enjeux 'Revealing.

The first of Timothy Garton Ash, ' Hitting with the following steps in Egypt' , an invitation to contextualise the movement with its own characteristics, beyond compare with other historical facts and perspectives to analyze it under a therefore incomplete.

The second group of articles (as we did with Tunisia two weeks ago) refers to the 'performance' of the EU and its positioning. You can read the post of Bruxelles2 ' Les 27 Ashton donnent a mandate to refocus the EU vers le monde politique arabe ', which analyzed the content of the mandate that Ashton gave earlier this month. You can also read the statement President of the European Parliament, Jerzy Buzek, and the joint text signed Ashton, Barroso and Van Rompuy . To all this it is worth adding the letter sent to a group of young Ashton MEPs belonging to all parties, asking for a reaction clear, unambiguous, bold and let the image and prestige of the EU to match.

The third group of articles refers to an emerging line of argument which is justified by the slowness and lack of strategic vision Ashton due to 'lack of resources' the 'many voices' or' condition of unanimity among the States. " You can read about the article itself Ashton in The Guardian ' U.S. Wants' deep democracy 'to take root in Egypt and Tunisia ' as well as the positive reading of the text makes Carlos Carnero . To this we might add the arguments wielded by the High Representative in response to criticism it received from the European Parliament in full Egyptian revolt. Return to this third point in a post below.

Personally I join the congratulations to the Egyptian people. Obviously this is the 'beginning of the end', but democracy is unquestionable that character, which is its legitimacy, and the Maghreb is giving us a tremendous lesson in dignity. I taste and topic of Obama quoting the post title. With the wisdom of flag, a country of 80 million people (more than Spain and more than the vast majority of European countries ...) starting to swing by itself, is today an inspiration not only for the 'world Arabic ', but for those who consider ourselves democrats.

The cold makes the branches shiver when I plant my words in silence and impenetrable thick pine forest. These messages of sentiment among the thick shadows vanish dodge the winter sun.

Mosses, lichens and mistletoe are subject to the forest elves of his magical and absolutely marvelous. What is

What is the sound of the pines when the wind rippling the branches and a wriggling silver singing river valley bottom. What are you writing in black oak and their skeletal figures on the white snow. What are the white peaks of mountains and hillsides dusted ... Pure enchantment! Pure wizardry! These

A road leads to life endemic to a crouch and aged people with difficulty maintaining the warmth of home. Not hear the noise of children or are drawn in the streets wandering youth. loitering only whispers of the elder is saved from the cold in their homes or senior centers. Silence draws a face full of absences and memories. This brings me to the absurd dichotomy: while the pine forest wastelands bites with some pushing, people bleed. The exuberance in front of the smallness . Kafkaesque is a matter for the people of pine trees.

And what are the strategies that lead to obtaining announced so many benefits? Is forest protection synonymous with prohibition of any gainful activity?

But since the April 20, 2010 an explosion in the Deepwater Horizon by British Petroleum (BP) led to a terrible oil spill in marine waters, the largest in history: 5 million barrels overflowed by the sea, and the deaths of 11 workers.

Nature lets us be and let us live was wounded. Many animals and plants perished then poisoned, others will die when oil does not cover enough. Those who ingest this oil suffer from pains in the intestinal tract and fatal disposals infiltration in the brain. Dolphins, whales and sperm whales in this new sea viscous disoriented and eventually suffocated sailing near the coast. Five of the seven species of sea turtles in the world are threatened with extinction, including the only existing vegetarian turtle.

Speedy Ashton Stand Up

Yesterday, Monday, January 31, met as planned the 27 Foreign Ministers Council meeting General Affairs and External Relations.
Following that meeting was the first time we hear the High Representative-out loud-make a statement and provide a position on the riots that are taking place in Tunisia and Egypt.
Among the specific measures agreed highlights the agreement to freeze the assets a list of more than 40 people close to the regime of Ben Ali. I advise
delighted that you see the video of the press conference:



Ashton, true to previous press conferences, review of a down-in less than 5 minutes, all matters have been on the table the Union's external relations in the last month. After much criticism, after all the nuances that have provided other countries like the U.S. ... 5 minutes (a minute per topic.)
reading The only 'positive' treatment is similar to the findings Ashton refers to Egypt and Tunisia (you can read quietly here for a and to the other ) with Belarus. So the difference is and becomes so palpable a contradiction between the different strategies, although it is similar schemes that do not know if I should make the Union more than two press conferences, if only a minute each ...

PS: tomorrow, Wednesday the 'new' foreign minister of Tunisia Ashton will meet in Brussels. We will have to be careful to see what the next steps which gives the Union in the Mediterranean country.

My Lcd Keeps Turning Off

The reaction has been the Union in relation to the revolt of Tunisia and Egypt is now being hotly debated. Among the most controversial elements have caused me to stick with three: a) the timing, in the case of Tunisia, the Union through Ashton ruled, Ben Ali had already fallen, and in the case of Egypt on Friday, or 7 days after that initiated the riots, "b) the broadcast channel selected, press always short, terse, no declarations' in vivo'-c) the content and positioning, while maintaining a certain ambiguity, without resorting to 'catalog' and 'dictatorship' governments or being deposed, privileging the 'prudence' diplomatic and without value judgments beyond certain demands, but expressed in a tone that down effect 'pressure'.
The Union has definitely been expressing their 'wants' (which elections are held, the release of prisoners, a return to the talks and abandon violence) without further processing such expressions in 'requirements'.
can consult in detail the reactions so far in the summary 'critical' Jon Worth published.

We bellyached as these reactions have occurred. Governments are what make the Community policy, and we are in a situation where the alleged 'paralysis' or 'lack of vision' is the product of a range of competing interests, reflected in a 'double standard' regarding human rights. So that 'our' governments and who were themselves elected Ashton. Precisely to ensure that follow-paced managing external relations (Post: Murder on the Orient Express ).

The cost of this system is that the Union is playing with fire by both sides. One is staking its credibility on behalf of Human Rights and its universal (which for the Democrats is more than just a 'front'). On the other plays a role in the geopolitics of the next coming years in the Maghreb (note SesiónDeControl: crystal ball), a priority area rather than the interests of all the Union.

Lessons Ashton well for Bruxelles2 summarizes, in a post that I believe benchmark: "Cathy Ashton?" Je lui donne quelques mois ou pour quelques crises Réussir ". Ashton needs better communication (new broadcast channels tailored to the specific characteristics and foreign policy-speed, close ...- and better representation (more delegation, spokesman for the High Representative

When they are good Break

Hello,

I leave the article published by The European this weekend.

You can read the original edition here.

When good they are (30/01/1911)

public reactions that have been made since the European Union in relation to the process through Tunisia has so today (Monday 24 January ) in the diffusion of three communiques written jointly by the High Representative and the European Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy, Stefan Fule. In the first two letters of 10 and 14 January (second to Ben Ali deposed and fled the country), Ashton was limited to asking for a 'use proportionate force 'and the respect of fundamental rights. We had to wait until 17 January so that the High Representative in a third statement expressing his 'solidarity' with the 'people' Tunisia and the EU will offer 'assistance' in view of the holding of democratic elections.

Since it began, more than four weeks, the Revolution called Jasmine Union has not done a single press conference at which protesters challenged, nor any institutional statement. The strategy has been to remain 'pending' in tow see how advanced the process and feedback from countries like Italy, Spain or France, unable to turn to offer a clear position despite his interest in the area. The initial reaction has been cold, distant and rather weak.

In this situation reveals three significant elements.

The first is the feeling of a certain paralysis caused by a multitude of interests and the inability of 'hierarchical order'.

During the past 15 years the strategy for the Maghreb area of \u200b\u200binfluence has been partly to prioritize stability and develop economic exchanges, although that could include treatment with authoritarian states, corrupt and repressive. As the paper reminds us Europa451 , of \u200b\u200bthe 3,500 foreign companies in Tunisia, most under a permissive tax-almost all are from Europe (1,200 French, 700 Italian, 277 German, 208 Belgians, 88 British, 50 English ...) . In the case of relations with Spain, Tunisia is one of the leading suppliers of fruit to multinational English label distribution. The coverage rate in relation to mainland exports reached 150%, with a surplus of 350 million euros in 2009. As for the products consumed in Tunisia, most of them come Europe, like the thousands of tourists visiting the country each year.

With such levels of investment (and therefore dependent and benefit) the temptation to hide behind the principle of noninterference to ensure continuity and stability of business interests is greater. Look the other way it's always easier to bear when you know you're gaining something in return. Ben Ali was a character who had been invited, and even praised, in the highest levels of European policies and the regime was clearly going to market principles, such as human rights or freedom of association "for a few others - such as immigration control and persecution against Islamic radicalism "could have its advantages.

The second important element that emerges from the European reaction is the huge gap that existed between the terse official discourse and the degree of mobilization that has led the revolution of the Jasmine. Tunisian

The revolt has had very specific characteristics. It was a mostly young and student revolt, supported and organized almost entirely through social networks like Facebook. Precisely because it is 'spontaneous' and not visible behind an institution that could capitalize, as the organized opposition in Tunisia is in fact nonexistent, the mobilization has enjoyed an aura 'democratic' and libertarian, blessed with world leaders and with the support of groups' à la mode "as the cyber of Anonymous. While the network society and various democratic movements throughout the world have turned to young Tunisians, the European Parliament for its part has been unable to agree on any resolution in favor of the demonstrators. Unbelievable, yet significant, that the Socialist International to which the Party of European Socialists - only exclude from their ranks Ben Ali's party (RCD) on 18 January, when he and had been deposed. As incredibly Exactly the same party had signed in July 2010 a ' participation agreement' within the European People's Party. An agreement was once branded by the first Vice-Chairman of the EPP, Vito Bonsignore, of 'priority'. The fact is that while the newspapers talk about the historic character of one of the first democratic Arab riots, the European institutions and political representatives have preferred a distant speech and even at times ambiguous (who remembers the words of the French Minister Alliot-Marie calling 'quiet'?).

The third and final element is that the reaction has been the European Union and Tunisia is an example of variable geometry which applies the so-called Defense of Human Rights. "

Only a few examples. The week of Jan. 18, the full European Parliament is able to agree on a resolution against the Belarusian regime , which are considered diplomatic and economic sanctions against Lukashenko, but instead is unable to agree on any mention of support for change regime in Tunisia.

The same semester that the European Parliament Sakharov Prize is awarded to a dissenting European Commission Cuban-through nothing more and nothing less than the President Barroso in Brussels receives and meets with dictator and Uzbek President Islam Karimov . A few months after the European Commission finally pursue dismiss France to expel the Roma as a group, and not case by case, four foreign ministers (including the French Minister) signed a joint letter for show their anger and their 'strong' will 'act' to curb the recent attacks on Christian communities in Alexandria and Baghdad (which recently added the attacks in Nigeria).

Each case has its story, but seen together they show how much the Union can not always act with the same hardness or pursuing the same goals for 'Human Rights'.

In short, the Union has reacted late and wrong to riot in Tunisia, with the credibility and political cost that this entails. The speed with which it has produced the fall of Ben Ali has uncovered more virulent if it fits our contradictions and our double standards, leaving Europe portrayed (who did not remember where the plane initially flew the deposed President?).

remains to be seen how the next face stages (starting, for example by freezing the assets of the Ali family.) The EU can still play a vital role in supporting and pushing for the power of citizen revolt would lead to the consolidation of a representative structure with which to build a democratic rule of law. The dictator has fallen but the dictatorship continues there this weekend said Cohn-Bendit. With the advent of democracy in the Maghreb Europe plays much more than her abused 'principles. " React.
