"The Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC) was signed into force by the original members of ASEAN in 1976. Its purpose is to promote peace, stability and cooperation in Southeast Asia. While the TAC was originally designed to apply only to states within the Southeast Asian region, it was amended in 1987 to allow for states outside the region to accede to it. Besides the Member States of the ASEAN, the following countries are parties to the treaty (in chronological order of accession): Papua New Guinea, China, India, Japan, Pakistan, South Korea, Russia, New Zealand, Mongolia, Australia, France, East Timor, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, North Korea, United States. In July 2006, EU Member States agreed to initiate proceedings towards the accession of the EU to the TAC. However, the TAC first had to be amended further to allow for the accession of non-state entities. Given the non-controversial nature of this accession, which will enhance the EU’s presence and visibility in the region, I supported this report."@en1
