"Ladies and gentlemen, within the framework of interparliamentary relations, it is my great pleasure to welcome a delegation from the Syrian Parliament. The delegation is led by Mr Abdul Kader Kaddoura, Speaker of the Syrian Parliament. This is his second visit to the European Parliament. In welcoming Mr Kaddoura and his delegation, I should like to highlight the importance we attach to this visit. It is the first of its kind to the European Parliament since 1983. Syria is the last remaining country in the Mediterranean basin with whom an Association Agreement has not yet been finalised. Negotiations between the Commission and Syria have been continued since 1997. I am informed that a very positive atmosphere reigned at the most recent meeting, last week. Further, contact between the Syrian Parliament and the European Parliament could trigger ongoing dialogue within the Euromed Forum. We trust this visit will help to strengthen links between the European Parliament and the Syrian Parliament. Mr Kaddoura, I very much hope that the meetings you and the members of your delegation held proved fruitful. I hope too that they will signal the start of a new era in which the people of Syria and the European Union will come closer to each other."@en1
