"Mr President, it seems to me that something is sorely missing from the report we have before us. I refer of course to the Native Americans, and by that I mean the indigenous peoples of this subcontinent. We tend to overlook them all too often, because they prick our conscience somewhat. How can we discuss relations with that part of ‘Latin’ America and fail to refer to these people? Where it did not wipe them out, our so-called civilisation reduced most of them to poverty. In its opinion, the Committee on Development and Cooperation has, quite rightly, highlighted this omission. To take an example, item 50 of paragraph g of the report envisages a financial contribution by the Union to the Puebla Panama plan. How can such an idea be entertained when the plan covers areas with a majority Native American population, in Chiapas and Guatemala, yet the American Indians have not been consulted? I would be hard put to vote in favour of this report."@en1
