lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I should like to congratulate my colleague Mr Menéndez del Valle on his excellent, balanced report. The strategic partnership, which was reaffirmed in early September in New Delhi, also contains commitments. I think it would be contradictory if the Commission were to cut the funding for India instead of increasing it; it would be incongruous, somehow. I also think that the EU needs to increase its visibility in India. On the British Prime Minister’s visit, it was often unclear whether he was there as the President of the Council of the European Union or as the Prime Minister of a Member State. We must clear up this confusion; we must make it clear that we are speaking on behalf of the EU and not just of one Member State. The issue of the economy has been raised. This is one basis for this strategic partnership. I, too, believe that possibilities for trade have been far from exhausted. Bureaucracy needs to be reduced, barriers dismantled and infrastructure, ports and airports increasingly expanded. As has been said several times here, fair trade is also needed, however, as well as respect for workers’ rights, the abolition of child labour and respect for intellectual property. This is part of the package, and I absolutely disagree with Mr Clark of UKIP: India is investing in Europe. Thousands of jobs are being created in Europe, too. For example, an IT company was recently established in Northern Ireland, with the creation of 600 jobs. This is not a one-way street, but rather an exchange. With regard to the political issues, I should like to see India showing commitment to multilateralism, for example recognising the International Criminal Court and acceding to the United Nations Convention Against Torture. I believe that both parties have a good deal more planned with each other."@en1
