"Mr President, the common strategy on Latin America is a strategy that may contain highly novel elements for Europe in this ever more complicated world. This novelty will be seen in the way the relations between Europe and Latin America are to be organised around three themes: the first is the debate on the rules of the game in the process of globalisation and, particularly, the question of democracy and the reduction of poverty; the second is the question of regional political integration; and the third is the joint management of major environmental crises.
In this sense, although we in our group support the general approach taken by the Salafranca report, it contains a few elements which we believe still reflect a view that does not give enough attention precisely to the novelty of the issues we should be responding to. In particular, my group strongly questions the emphasis placed on the commercial dimension of relations between Europe and Latin America, especially the need for them to be subject to the current rules of the World Trade Organisation, rules which are widely challenged not only in Latin America but in Europe too.
Secondly, we do not agree with the
positive assessment of the Puebla-Panama plan, which is a plan for large infrastructure works which will have considerable social and environmental impact. Before the European Union joins the financial community in contributing to the success of this plan, as called for in the report, I think we should carefully assess this impact."@en1
