��� 多年来，欧盟和东盟相互欣赏对方是重要和可靠的伙伴，对全球政治和经济有着共同的基本看法。我们已逐步建立了一个谘询机制，虽然有一些问题，但似乎运作良好。然而，令人费解的是，为什么这种关系没有从协商性关系转变为更具实质性的关系。原因之一可能是，贸易和投资在没有正式框架的情况下顺利流动。然而，这并不是一个令人信服的理由。更有可能的是，欧盟和东盟从未真正充分了解彼此，了解各自的目标是什么以及如何运作。2006年，欧盟终于打开了与东盟自由贸易协定谈判的大门，这是多年来一直在东盟愿望清单上的事情。希望这将为一种不仅充满宣言和良好意愿，而且具有实质性的关系铺平道路。
��� The European Union (EU) and ASEAN have over the years come to appreciate each other as important and reliable partners sharing the same basic outlook on global politics and economics. Gradually a mechanism for consultation has been built up and it seems to work well despite some problems. Nevertheless it is puzzling why the relationship has not moved from a consultative one to a more substantive one. One reason may be that trade and investment flow smoothly without a formalized framework. This is, however, not a convincing reason. It is more likely that the EU and ASEAN have never really fully understood each other, what their respective objectives are and how they work. In 2006 the EU finally opened the door to negotiations for a free trade agreement with ASEAN, something, which had been on the ASEAN wish list for a number for years. Hopefully this will pave the way for a relationship not only rich in declarations and good intentions, but also of substantial character.
