European Leaders Express Satisfaction With Thailand's Democracy, Economy

[OzMick]

The two countries also agreed to new talks on a possible Thailand-European Free Trade Association (EFTA) agreement, which was suspended in 2006.

Was this because the EU did not do deals with juntas or was it the junta trying to keep the status quo by not opening up Thailand. It was not resurrected under the cobbled together army inspired, offer you cant refuse to form a coalition government under Abhisit rule. One would think the dems and the army have the same paymaster...Oooops

A little research was sufficient to prove you are writing crap again. From the EFTA website "The third round of negotiations is scheduled to take place in Geneva between 3 and 7 April 2006." after the second round held in January.

The 3rd round didn't take place, and it certainly wasn't because of the coup in September. Maybe the corruption revelations stuck in their craw.

I'm not sure Norway has the authority to unilaterally negotiate EFTA deals with other countries. Also, won't the other ASEAN members being a little concerned Thailand is off doing deals on its own?

The European leaders don't know that until the constitution has been re-written and until Thaksin is cleared of all its crimes Thailand has no REAL democracy?

Any constitution compiled under a military junta should be changed at the earliest possible time. Under the constitution they rewrote they absolved themselves of treason. Why is it that the dissenters keeping posting that the charter change is just about Thaksin getting off. I am sure there is other parts that are to be re writ that may cause worrying times for some people

Where have you been the last 14 months? The charter change IS for Thaksin. You don't follow what is going on here?

And now backtoreality please!

One post in support upto now. Well make mine 2. The eager to post dissenters on here that jump on every positive Yingluck thread are a tad tedious. European politicians do not spend there time getting opinions from a forum and second rate newspapers. For once if you dont agree with a news article say something constructive not derogatory recycled opinions and anti devil (Thaksin is the bogey man call the army out). Failing that take your head for a d..p

So a country run on corruption is OK ?

So this country was not corrupt before the last election. Head for a wobble please

How about the election before that, and the one before and the one before and.................................

Take your own head for a wobble and try not to be so selective.
