Beyond helping to manage the crisis today, Europe must commit to helping fragile and conflict-affected countries overcome the challenges they face, improve their citizens’ wellbeing, and build thriving economies. To retain its moral and political authority, the European Union – perhaps the most compelling example of how cooperation can support peace and prosperity – must implicate itself beyond its frontiers in a sincere and determined way, reaching mutually beneficial agreements with its southern neighbors.
除了帮助遏制当前危机，欧洲还必须致力于帮助脆弱的冲突影响国克服它们所面临的挑战，改善公民福祉，建设繁荣经济。要维持其道德和政治权威，欧盟——其本身也许正是合作如何支持和平与繁荣的最佳案例——必须带着诚意和决心超越边界，与其南部邻邦达成共同受益的协议。
