Helmut Scholz, rapporteur. – Mr President, dear colleagues, I want to draw your attention to the forthcoming file, the partnership agreement with Mongolia, which has been negotiated and concluded, and finally today we can give consent to this agreement. Unfortunately, we did not have the chance to discuss the content, and I want to draw your attention in particular to the fact that we need the opening of a representation of the European Union in Mongolia to accompany the future cooperation and political, economic and cultural relationship with this important country in Asia.
