By adopting the report by Elmar BROK (EPP-ED, D), the European Parliament accepted the position by the committee responsible and approves the conclusion of the Cooperation Agreement between the European Community and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan on Partnership and Development.
However, the Parliament asks the Commission to present to Parliament one year after the entry into force of the agreement a report on its implementation and on its effect on human rights and democratisation and, should there be no improvement in human rights and democracy, to consider what steps are necessary.�
