lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Taiwan is a world player – that much is beyond dispute. It is the 21st biggest economy in the world. Taipei has strong relations with China and with the United States and is an important partner for the European Union. Unfortunately – and I have also been personally able to observe this on the ground – the EU does not make the best use of the opportunities of the Taiwanese market, despite the fact that the island is the ideal springboard for European businesses looking to enter the Chinese market. The fact is that intellectual property is much better protected in Taiwan than on the mainland. What is more, Taiwan is the European Union’s most important industrial partner. In brief, the upgrading of our relations through a free trade agreement or trade facilitation is highly desirable. I hope that the Commission also knows how to get through to the Member States in that regard. We must not allow ourselves to guided by the fear of a possible political price that China may demand. At the end of the day, Beijing has also concluded a trade agreement with Taiwan. Mr President, sometimes I ask myself how unfettered the European Union is when it comes to Taiwan, given all this fear about China."@en1
