Comment Neelie (Kroes)

[...] At the EU level, we have powerful levers; for example trade policy. When it comes to supporting democracy, we are a credible voice on the international stage. And we already have well-resourced instruments for foreign policy, development and human rights: instruments which can be put at the service of this noble aim. Acting together, acting as more than the sum of our parts, and working with the many others out there, we stand ready to support a true European action.
