"Over the 20 years of trade negotiations between the European Union and the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) the context of the negotiations has changed profoundly and these relations must be able to reach a turning-point. The conclusion of a free trade agreement remains both a political and a commercial priority. The GCC’s geopolitical environment is characterised by the emergence of a series of security challenges with global and regional implications that means that a process to liberalise and diversify the basic economic structure of these countries needs to be started up. These countries should be able to continue down the path of cooperation and multilateralism. The European Union therefore has the task of developing a new strategic partnership that is capable of supporting the ongoing regional integration process. Furthermore, it would be desirable for the European External Action Service to open new diplomatic missions in these countries. It would therefore be a good idea for Parliament to encourage a more ambitious EU policy with regard to the GCC. We should be able to step up relations in areas of cooperation, such as the field of scientific research and technology, while continuing to discuss issues such as the protection of religious minorities, the right to work and freedom of opinion."@en1
