- February 25, 2008. An EU strategy for Central Asia - MEPs concerned about slowness of implementation
-
Parliament adopted an own-initiative report on an EU strategy for Central Asia. While the report welcomes the EU's increased focus on Central Asia, of which the adoption of the Central Asia strategy is the clearest expression, it notes, however, the slowness of implementation of the projects for the five countries of the region. The five countries referred to collectively as Central Asia (Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) lie at a key intersection between Europe and Asia and, historically and traditionally, they have represented an important meeting and transit point between the two continents. The House is convinced that certain issues can only be dealt with effectively by means of regional approaches leading to regional solutions (e.g. counter-terrorism, the eradication of human trafficking, counter-narcotics, water management) which require enhanced regional cooperation.
