    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the most important thing in bilateral or multilateral relationship is business. It is good to have business relations with a population of 1.5 billion people. One of the recommendations from this meeting was to have a system where ACP Members can meet regularly on their own. Previously, we were required to have joint meetings. Arising from this 49th Session, these are called regional blocs and can meet. It is the same way colleagues from the European Parliament can meet in their regions and have a position to expand their bargaining space in business. It is good to meet as regional blocs and have a position. Some of the allocations such as leadership are given with regional blocks in mind. So, these regional blocs can help member states to articulate their issues very well. A good example is when Kenya hosted a meeting of the East African region, called the 15th Regional Meeting of East African Region of ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly on 11th to 12th April this year. This is one of those good recommendations. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
