"Today, in the plenary session in Strasbourg, we have voted in favour of the recommendation by Mr Brok on the draft Council decision on the accession of the European Union to the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC).
The TAC, originally designed to apply only to the Association of Southeast Nations (ASEAN countries) of the Southeast Asian region, with the aim of promoting stability and cooperation between them, was amended in 1987 so as to allow for the accession of other states and, in July 2006, Member States of the European Union also initiated accession procedures, although the treaty had not been amended further to allow for the accession of non-state entities.
Nevertheless, with the view that accession could only enhance the EU’s presence and visibility in the Asian region, the Committee on Foreign Affairs has invited the European Parliament to consent to the decision authorising the Union to join the TAC."@en1
