"Mr President, with regard to the latter part of Mr Purvis’s question, actions in the Mediterranean area have been one of the Portuguese Presidency’s priorities. The Portuguese Presidency also intends to continue the very thorough work that has been done to establish the joint strategy for the Mediterranean, and it has developed various initiatives in this area. Specifically, with regard to the agreement with Jordan, even though we acknowledge and regret the fact that the agreement is not yet in force, previous experience has shown that these agreements take around three years to be ratified. The most rapidly ratified agreement was the agreement with Tunisia, which was signed in July 1995, and which came into force in March 1998; it therefore took just under three years. Our experience with all the other agreements is that they took around three years and I think that the pace of the agreement with Jordan is more or less standard. This depends to a large extent on national parliaments. Nevertheless, the Portuguese Presidency will certainly make the various governments aware of this issue."@en1
