"Mr President, I welcome the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement with the Philippines as a vital basis for strengthening relations with the country and region that is fast gaining its geopolitical importance. The EU is a major partner for the Philippines in trade and investment, but how much clout will we have once the TPP – a major US trade deal with the region which Philippines is eager to join – is fully ratified and implemented? So if we want to stay ahead of the game, it is key that we move forward on negotiations for an FTA which should serve as a stepping stone for a regional deal with South-East Asia. Another area where we should really step up engagement is the South China Sea, where Chinese provocations are fuelling tensions on a daily basis. Finding a solution is not only key for global stability, but also for our trade routes. It is important for the EU to become a vastly more pro-active and visible actor in the region, but not by turning a blind eye to human rights issues in return, especially given that President-elect Duterte’s recent remarks yesterday are of real concern to us."@en1
