Charles Grant, director of the London-based Centre for European Reform, says this is a chance for the EU to offer parts of the Arab world more money, markets and mobility — but to tie those benefits to progress on democracy and human rights.

What should be clear in the new neighbourhood policy, however, is that only countries which reform their political systems will enjoy the closest relations with the EU."
