European Parliament
Glyn Ford (PSE ),
in writing
As the rapporteur in the last Parliament on the issue of relations with the Republic of Korea in the field of science and technology, I recognise the importance for Europe of relations with this growing economic power in Asia. I therefore welcome this report and I support it extending as it does our framework trade and cooperation agreement to the new Member States of the Union. We now have the mechanism in place for a growing partnership between the EU and the Republic of Korea. The important thing now is to use it.
