Paragraph 36
Paragraph 36
36. Stresses that the starting point for any long-term solution to the Afghan crisis must be Afghan citizens‘ interests as regards their internal security, civil protection, and economic and social protectiondevelopment, and should include concrete measures for the eradication of poverty, discrimination against women, for enhancing respect for human rights and the rule of law, as well as reconciliation mechanisms, an end to opium production, a robust state-building exercise, the integration of Afghanistan into the international community and the banishing of al-Qa'ida from the country; stresses that Afghanistan must be provided with a police force capable of ensuring a minimal standard of security able to permit a subsequent withdrawal of the foreign military presence from the country; reiterates its position that the EU and its Member States and the international community at large should support Afghanistan in building its own state, with stronger democratic institutions capable of ensuring national sovereignty, state unity, territorial integrity, sustainable economic development and the prosperity of its citizens, while respecting the historical, religious, spiritual and cultural traditions of all of the country's ethnic and religious communities; believes, therefore, that the EU's strategy for Afghanistan will have to consider the need to further encourage a profound shift in the mindset of the international community, which has all too often in the past shaped plans and decisions with scant regard for Afghan involvement; takes the view that a more transparent monitoring system, a centralised database on/analysis of the costs and impact of all EU aid to Afghanistan should also be set up, for without comprehensive, up-to-date and transparent data about Afghanistan as it is today, any intervention strategy can only be doomed to failure;
