lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I agree to a large extent with my fellow Members from the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats). There is a degree of hypocrisy and also one of hesitation in what the Commissioner told us. In the 2010 communication, a paradox emerged in that the word Taiwan can neither be written nor spoken. Yet, it is a small China; very democratic and extremely vital both from a trade point of view and in terms of technological innovation. There is a very real principle which we must adhere to, especially in our trade undertakings. Taiwan exists and it exists de facto as a Sovereign State; Taiwan is a full member of the World Trade Organisation; we have excellent trade links with Taiwan and it is negotiating or will negotiate free trade agreements with several third countries. Something else is also true, which is that China, the People’s Republic of China, always responds with much irritation to our contact with Taiwan, nevertheless we do get the impression that it would be able to adapt with a certain level of pragmatism to a next step. Therefore we return to the original question, which we have still not had a compelling response to: is a free trade agreement possible with Taiwan, even at a lower or sectoral level? I think that this Parliament would be ready to support the Commission in such an undertaking."@en1
