lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, I will join with those who have expressed their congratulations and thanks in this House. Allow me, though, also – on the subject of the Association Agreements that we are discussing today – to point out a more general desire voiced by the European Parliament to achieve stronger, more voluntarist and more incisive agreements between the different stakeholders of the European Union and the Andean Community or the countries of Central America. These agreements stress and emphasise the institutionalisation of political dialogue and the improvement of governance. Can we talk about governance without linking it to the issue of the global development strategy, designed, for example, to combat poverty? Can we talk about improving governance without talking about, and touching upon, the issue of economic and social integration? These are elements that are, I believe, missing from our approach. It is imperative that three points are raised. The first is the question of the role of dialogue between the different parliament members and with the national parliaments. Today, the members of parliament from the different countries represented are pointing out their weak position and their marginalisation in the current type of political system. This was mentioned in the report on our meeting in Puebla at the beginning of the month. As was done in our final memorandum, it is up to us to once again give them the role to which they are entitled and to also grant a role to the different actors representative of civil society, whether they be unions, companies or organised civil society. The second point concerns the issue of regional integration, which is fundamental. Can we, however, be happy with free trade agreements whilst ignoring the social aspects, especially the issues concerning fundamental rights; in other words, without talking about the actual situation when it comes to the populations’ well-being? Of course, we are faced with countries where poverty is extreme. That is what we are all saying. We should, however, have the political courage to know exactly what we are talking about when we talk about poverty. The poverty of the populations is extreme, but it is on the issue of unfair distribution of wealth that we must speak out and help our parliamentary colleagues to act …"@en1
