I propose to take Questions Nos. 32 and 44 together.
Ireland, as EU Presidency, participated fully in the preparatory work for the Lisbon Summit and in the drafting of the Lisbon Declaration, including the Declaration on "A Common and Comprehensive Security Model for the Twenty-first century". A copy of the Lisbon Declaration has been placed in the Dáil Library. The final text reflects many of the ideas and suggestions that Ireland put forward on behalf of the EU. In summary, the declaration reflects the commitment of all OSCE states to create "a common security space free of dividing lines in which all States are equal partners."
The fundamental elements of this common security space are the comprehensiveness and indivisibility of security and the allegiance to shared values, commitments and norms of behaviour, which have been developed and acknowledged by OSCE participating states.
