"Canada is one of the European Union’s oldest partners, and this year’s summit is important in order to continue and consolidate this close bilateral cooperation in every area. I voted for the joint resolution because it reflects in a concise and objective manner the positive prospect of our future cooperation.
Guaranteeing reciprocity in bilateral relations is one of the European Union’s basic principles. I hope that, in the near future, Canada will waive the visa requirements for Romanian, Czech and Bulgarian citizens, thereby ensuring fair and equal treatment for all European Union citizens. At the same time, I wish to welcome the measures which have been taken so far aimed at signing an EU-Canada trade agreement and I hope that this year’s meeting will give the necessary impetus to finalise it.
Bearing in mind the current economic situation and state of the climate, I must emphasise the need for close cooperation in order to identify alternatives to the traditional resources for producing energy, which will respect the particular features of each state, as both the EU and Canada are involved in developing and using low-carbon technologies. At the same time, cooperation must also be promoted in the energy, climate and maritime sectors in the Arctic region."@en1
