respect  for  human  rights  in  the  framework  of  the  Community  and  its  Members  States(cid:146)  cooperation  policies
should be guided by objective and equitable criteria and should be implemented in a coherent and consistent

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0299/98

by Leonie van Bladel (UPE) to the Council

(17 February 1998)

Subject: Separate EU Ambassador for Asia

Can  the  Council  President  indicate  why,  to  date,  nothing  has  been  done  to  appoint  a  separate  EU

1.
Ambassador for Asia?

2.
On the eve of the Europe-Asia Summit in London, is the Council President aware that the appointment of a
separate EU Ambassador for Asia would, in a symbolic manner, emphasize EU unity in the light of the crisis in
Asia and that it might help towards curbing the adverse effects of the current crisis on the economic situation and
on employment, not only in Asia but also in the European Union?

Answer

(30 April 1998)

The  General  Affairs  Council  on  23  February  1998  discussed  the  European  Union(cid:146)s  response  to  the  financial
crisis in Asia. The Presidency agreed to consider appointing a Special Representative, who could visit the region
to underline Europe(cid:146)s support for those affected by the Asian financial crisis.

In the light of that discussion, the Presidency has decided to appoint Mr Derek Fatchett, Foreign Office Minister
responsible  for  Asia,  as  its  Special  Representative.  Mr  Fatchett  visited  Thailand,  Malaysia,  Indonesia  and
Singapore from 3-7 March accompanied by Mr Cloos, representative of the European Commission.

The visit was a clear signal of the importance which the European Union attaches to helping tackle the crisis
affecting Asia. It was designed to dispel any impression that Europe is less engaged than eg. the US in responding
to the difficulties facing many of our Asian partners. It also provided an opportunity to make clear the EU(cid:146)s
desire to discuss the Asian financial crisis at the 2nd Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM 2) in April 1998.
