lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report. The European Union and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have been negotiating a free trade agreement for some 20 years. These are the longest-running and hitherto non-concluded trade negotiations that the EU has undertaken. In the course of this period, the situation in this region has changed profoundly. Over two decades, the GCC member states became the main economic powerhouse for the Middle East and North Africa, while the newly emerging region itself has significant influence on the development of the global economy. I agree with the proposals made in the report that it is necessary to swiftly conclude a free trade agreement with this region that is important for the EU. The potential for cooperation between the EU and the Gulf region applies not only to the realm of trade, but to other shared interests in international security, in combating terrorism, in diplomatic mediation in Middle Eastern trouble spots, in regional crisis management and in intercultural dialogue and global economic governance."@en1
