Senator Loren Legarda on Thursday said she is ready to sponsor treaties with the European Union, Germany and Sweden before the Senate goes on break next week.
Legarda, chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, held a hearing to discuss concurrence in the Philippines’ ratification to three treaties.
She said these are the Framework Agreement on Partnership and Cooperation Between the Philippines and the European Union (PH-EU PCA); the Agreement between the Republic of the Philippines and the Federal Republic of Germany on Social Security (PH-Germany SSA); and the Agreement on Social Security between the Republic of the Philippines and the Kingdom of Sweden (PH-Sweden SSA).
She said the PH-EU PCA will serve as a general framework of relations between the Philippines and the EU and will allow better cooperation between the two parties on political, economic and development issues.
