".
Madam President, my group accepted the consensus, though we made it clear that we had strong reservations about paragraphs 6, 21 and 66 in relation to the definition of the Euro-Latin American free-trade area.
I would ask Mr Salafranca to make one more effort, because, since this report, we have held the meeting in Bregenz – the third very important parliamentary meeting involving more than 90 parliamentarians from Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe.
This concept appears in a very much altered form in the Bregenz declaration. The notion of the Euro-Latin American area hardly appears in it, essentially at the request of the parliamentarians from Latin America and the Caribbean.
I would therefore like my group to be able to remain part of the consensus tomorrow, but with an altered wording, because the Bregenz meeting has taken place and what we must do is listen to what our partners have said, since it is to them that this fundamental, important and strategic proposal is addressed. And I believe that we Members of the European Parliament should therefore treat the Bregenz declaration as a meeting point.
Furthermore, I believe that there is a high degree of agreement, on the importance of this bi-regional strategic relationship, on establishing a European Union-Latin American parliamentary assembly, on regional integration and on the Bi-regional Solidarity Fund, which, incidentally, in the Bregenz declaration and as far as Mrs Ferrero-Waldner is concerned, was also altered, because there was no mention of Latin America and the Caribbean being able to participate by means of proposals. If they are not able to do so, then we are not talking about a bi-regional fund, but about a European fund which grants aid to Latin America and the Caribbean at Europe’s discretion.
On this basis, therefore, I would ask – and I know that we have very little time left – for a final effort from Mr Salafranca so that paragraphs 6, 21 and 66, which mention a Euro-Latin American free-trade area, can be worded in accordance with the Bregenz declaration."@en1
