• 13 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for the opportunity to second this Report that is before the House. The Mover has been very elaborate. She has explained what the ACP-EU is all about. I do not think I will take time repeating what she said. However, I want to emphasise one point which she mentioned about the Cotonou Agreement.This is what created the enlarged grouping of European Members of Parliament and those from the ACP.

• 13 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The Mover also stressed the point of Economic Partnership Agreements.
