"Madam President, when this was discussed last year, I spoke in favour of it. I am very pleased at the progress that has been made since and congratulate the rapporteur and the Commission.
I think it is very important for us in the European Union to have good Free Trade Agreements, particularly with countries whose political philosophy we can sympathise and agree with. I think a country like Korea needs close links with the European Union, especially when it is surrounded by some hostile regimes. Certainly there are huge benefits. I think it is important that we emphasise those benefits to all our citizens, so that they can benefit.
It is up to Korea to do the same in their country. There are pitfalls, but I think the safeguards, as outlined by my colleague, Ms Köstinger, can overcome those. I certainly welcome this agreement. I hope it will come into being as quickly as possible and we can go on to make agreements with other, similar countries with a philosophy something like our own, especially in Asia, and especially with Japan."@en1
