S&D Euro MPs Marc Tarabella, first vice-chair of the delegation for relations with the countries of Southeast Asia and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and Neena Gill, member of the committee on economic and monetary affairs, participated yesterday in the 10th European Parliament - Singapore inter-parliamentary meeting which took place in Singapore.  

Commenting on the outcome of the ASEAN mission to Singapore, held on the 23 May 2017, Marc Tarabella and Neena Gill stated: 

“The 10th inter-parliamentary dialogue was once again a success with both sides acknowledging the benefits of exchanging good practices and challenges.

“The recent European Court of Justice judgement delivered on the 16 May is a good window of opportunity to engage in further constructive co-operation and dialogue.

“We also welcome the determination of the authorities to increase female parliamentary participation and hope that more women in Singapore will be encouraged to take on this important function.”
