lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the delegation for relations with Central Asia and Mongolia, which I am honoured to chair, went to Mongolia just three weeks ago on the occasion of the eighth interparliamentary meeting of the European Parliament and Mongolia. It was a very useful and interesting experience. Mongolia is a country that deserves to be better known and there are not many opportunities in this Parliament to give it the attention that it should certainly receive. It is a country characterised by a multi-party parliamentary system, separation of powers, comparatively free public opinion and a level of human rights protection that stands out compared with the situation in many other countries in the region. It is also a country with development problems that is grappling with a difficult environmental situation and ongoing desertification. It has also been hit by extreme weather conditions recently. At the same time, it is very rich in natural resources – copper, gold, uranium and rare earths – which could attract a considerable influx of capital in the not-too-distant future. For all the above reasons, I think it is important to send out a signal of support for Mongolia at this crucial stage in its development, and to foster the strengthening of democracy and the rule of law as well as parliamentary control, so that the financial resources that become available to Mongolia can be used in future for the benefit of the people. We have to encourage Mongolia in its desire to develop closer relations with the European Union and urge it to adopt our standards and industrial regulations. We should help it move towards a market economy and more intense economic and trade relations, which are made possible by a climate of legal certainty and the development of the rule of law. The Partnership and Cooperation Agreement that the European Union and Mongolia are concluding will play a decisive role in this context. For all these reasons, 45 other Members and I have tabled this oral question. In this question, we ask the Commission to provide further details on the main characteristics of the agreement and the foreseeable schedule for its ratification. I would like to point out that the agreement has already been initialled, but there is currently deadlock over its signature, apparently because of doubts raised by a Member State on the legal basis used for some of the clauses. Additionally, we would like to ask the Commission about the possibility of opening a European Union delegation in Ulaanbaatar in the near future. Such an initiative could, in fact, significantly contribute to a further deepening of our political and economic cooperation with that country."@en1
