Je voudrais dire que la présidence portugaise a l'intention, lors de la prochaine réunion informelle des ministres des Affaires étrangères consacrée au processus euro-méditerranéen, de transmettre un message sur l'importance de sensibiliser les parlements de ces pays quant à la nécessité de ratifier cet accord, en particulier, et d'autres accords qui seraient soumis à ratification.
Nevertheless, we can and we must make representations to the governments of these countries, and I must say that the Portuguese Presidency intends, at the next informal meeting of Foreign Ministers on the Euro-Mediterranean process, to highlight the importance of making the parliaments of these countries aware of the need to ratify this agreement in particular, as well as other agreements which still remain to be ratified.
