structural dialogue

The structural dialogue we introduced this year, the intense communication between the committees and the Commissioners really paid off.

They called for a broad structural dialogue between the United States and Japan.

Structural dialogue between parliamentary delegations and Members of Parliament may perhaps put an end to this.

The battle against narcotics was also a major issue in the structural dialogue during the Irish Presidency in spring 1996.

Further to that, I would like to ask you whether you are prepared to enter into structural dialogue with the European Parliament on the country strategy papers for ACP countries.

This is clearly stated in our legislative programme, and that is what I said to the Committee on Citizens' Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs during our structural dialogue on the priorities for next year.

One crucial step, I think, could be for the European Union to do what Turkey does not do, or refuses to do, and enter into a direct and structural dialogue with representatives of the Kurdish community in Turkey on this matter.

I am sure that my colleagues, Mrs Malmström and Mrs Reding, will pay attention to how to tackle all these concerns, which have been raised both in this debate and in the structural dialogue they had with their respective committees.
