"As Chair of the European Parliament’s Delegation for relations with the Mashreq countries, I was extremely satisfied to vote for this recommendation, because this agreement represents a long-standing priority for the EU, which the Commission estimates will generate 54 000 extra passengers and consumer benefits of EUR 30 million in the first year of market opening. This agreement is part of a wider objective for creating a common Euro-Mediterranean aviation area, and is perfectly in line with the objectives of the future European neighbourhood policy, for which I am the European Parliament’s co-rapporteur. I am therefore doubly satisfied – personally, as well as politically – to vote for this recommendation. This is a step towards strengthening EU-Jordan relations, since, as the rapporteur rightly says in his recommendation, relations between the EU and Jordan are based on the 2002 association agreement, whose objective is to establish an EU-Jordan free trade area. Moreover, both parties are working closely together on democratic reforms in Jordan and modernising its economy. The EU is also Jordan’s biggest trade partner after Saudi Arabia."@en1
