Marking the 40th anniversary of the start of their dialogue ASEAN and the EU have agreed to work towards establishing a strategic partnership. While trade has always been the cornerstone of the relationship - ASEAN is the EU’s third largest trade partner - the EU’s ambition to expand its role as a global actor demand increased engagement. Both sides face common challenges that can only be addressed through joint responses that involve all stakeholders. To be strategic the partnership must embrace all aspects, from trade to energy, from climate change to security issues, from human rights to sustainable development. Deepening and enhancing relations between one of the most dynamic region in the world and the largest and most affluent market will bring important benefits to both European and ASEAN citizens. The last years have seen an increase in contacts but the many challenges faced today by the EU, internally and in its close neighbourhood, risk to require all attention and put the EU-ASEAN relations at risk. Finally the study argues that strengthening the parliamentary dimension of the relationship would, besides supporting representative democracy in Southeast Asia, contribute to maintaining the momentum launched in 2012.

JOINT STATEMENT by Mr David McALLISTER, Chair of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Mr Dariusz ROSATI, Chair of the Delegation to the EU-Ukraine Parliamentary Association Committee and Mr Michael GAHLER, AFET standing rapporteur on Ukraine
We are deeply satisfied about today's strong endorsement by the European Parliament of a visa-free regime for Ukrainian citizens, which we have been advocating for years. This is a clear signal of EU solidarity but also the well-deserved outcome of the remarkable reform efforts made by Ukrainian authorities to fulfill all necessary criteria in areas such as border management, fight against corruption and anti-discrimination. It is crucial that these reform efforts are further taken forward, and by no means reverted (...)
