lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would firstly like to point out that the Committee on External Affairs has made an extraordinary effort to present a coherent report in accordance with the European Union’s objectives within the perspective of the ASEM process. It has done this, on the other one hand, by transforming the unfortunate and aggressive initial draft and, on the other, by taking on board that the agreements of the Third ASEM Conference in Seoul have replaced the initial proposals contained in the European Commission’s original document. We cannot ignore the enormous importance for the world, globally, and for the European Union specifically, of the improvement in relations between these two regions of the world – the European Union and Asia. And this is the case in all respects: economic, social, cultural, scientific and political. Despite the current conflicts and problems, Asia is the most dynamic region in the world. It contains three giants: Japan, China and India, which are going to be increasingly important on the international stage. Relations between the European Union and this region must therefore be particularly prudent and positive and at the same time help towards a negotiated and peaceful solution to the problems which are the result of an immediate past originating in the Cold War, as well as the colonial past. The objective should be to contribute to the world enjoying a multipolar situation in which international law, peace and economic and social development – which is just and balanced – should have increasing importance, and human, union and social rights and democracy should flourish as an everyday reality. China’s access to the World Trade Organisation has been important and the European Union must therefore maintain a special relationship with China in this respect. We therefore believe that, at the Fourth Summit in Copenhagen, parliaments, both European and Asian, must play an ever more important role as representatives of popular sovereignty."@en1
