I welcome the fact that the new constitution enshrines fundamental rights and freedoms, including freedom of expression, assembly and womens rights. All existing and future legislation will have to be in compliance with the new constitution. I also expect that the constitution will be applied in a way that gives full effect to civilian preeminence. I trust the authorities will move forward with the constitutional roadmap and organise elections as quickly as possible, leading to a fair representation of different political views in the future parliament, accountability for the government and state institutions, and greater security and prosperity for all Egyptians. I wish to once more reiterate that the EU will continue supporting the Egyptian people as they strive to complete their democratic transition and fulfill the aspirations of the 2011 revolution.
