Som medlem af Parlamentets delegation til Machraklandene og Golfstaterne lægger jeg vægt på, at associeringsaftalerne med disse lande ratificeres hurtigst muligt; navnlig aftalen med Jordan bevæger sig langsomt gennem ratificeringsprocessen.
As a member of Parliament's delegation to the Mashreq countries and Gulf States, I am concerned that the association agreements with these countries should be ratified as expeditiously as possible; the Jordanian agreement in particular is only slowly proceeding through the ratification process.
