Thailand: EU to broaden its engagement following elections
Met dank overgenomen van Raad van de Europese Unie (Raad) i, gepubliceerd op maandag 14 oktober 2019.
The Council today took note of a presentation by the High Representative on political developments in Thailand following the March 2019 elections. In this context, and recalling its conclusions of 11 December 2017, the Council now considers it appropriate for the EU to take steps towards broadening its engagement with Thailand, including on issues of human rights, fundamental freedoms and democratic pluralism, by preparing for the timely signature of the Partnership and Co-operation Agreement (PCA). The Council also stresses the importance of taking steps towards the resumption of negotiations on an ambitious and comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
