"Scientific and technological cooperation between the EU and Jordan is given as a priority in the Euro-Mediterranean association agreement between the two parties, which came into force in 2002.
Negotiations to establish an agreement between the EU and Jordan on scientific cooperation therefore began in 2007. Parliament’s approval for the conclusion of the agreement is a step in the right direction. My support for the conclusion of the agreement is based on my conviction that it will bring the EU closer to Jordan, which has significant capabilities in the field of science and technology. Jordan has a large network of universities and research centres.
Moreover, it is hoped that Jordan will act as a catalyst for scientific cooperation in its region. It has strategic planning for research, and is in a position to cooperate internationally in sectors such as energy, sustainable development, health and agriculture, among others.
These areas are in line with the European priorities set out in the seventh framework programme. This is why it is important for this agreement to be approved, as it will enable the EU to move closer to its Mediterranean partner in the field of science and technology, thereby creating mutual benefits."@en1
