".
The resolution contains points with which I agree, specifically the aim of establishing ‘genuinely equitable cooperation’ in the Mediterranean, support for ‘those Israelis and Palestinians who are working for a fair and equitable settlement to the conflict’, ‘opposition to the practice of the death penalty’ and establishing a moratorium or the active commitment of the EU to ‘settling the conflict in the Western Sahara’.
I must emphasise, however, that, amongst other aspects:
the resolution advocates a ‘policy of economic openness and of internal liberalisation in third countries’ and urges ‘extending the processes of South-South cooperation as the sole means of achieving a genuine free trade area’, which is the real dogma of neoliberal capitalism;
it defends the EU’s current repressive policy on immigration, when it suggests as a priority measure ‘stepping up efforts for readmission to countries of origin and of transit’, and rejects amendments tabled by my group condemning the recent creation of ‘European charters’ for expelling foreigners. Let us remember that such action is prohibited under the European Convention of Human Rights;
the resolution does not criticise the Israeli Government’s policy of occupying Palestine and of repressing the Palestinian people.
Hence my vote against."@en1
