lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, promoting trade and economic cooperation provides a proper objective of this report, but economic growth in Latin America can only be sustained by rigid adherence to the rule of law and respect for human rights. I support what the rapporteur and his party colleagues say in condemning human rights abuse in Cuba, but I call on them to be consistent including, yes, in Colombia, where the Organization of American States has already said that supposedly demobilised paramilitaries are returning to arms. I hope the Commissioner will tonight confirm her agreement with the UN Commissioner for Human Rights that her office in Colombia retain the double mandate, including monitoring, not restricting its duties to simply technical assistance. Finally, Latin America is Europe’s strategic partner. I pay tribute to Brazil in contributing to nuclear non-proliferation and to several Latin American countries for contributing to peace-keeping operations in Haiti, but I also hope that the Vienna Summit secures support from our Latin American partners for a WTO round which genuinely targets development, not least because countries from Bolivia to Honduras to Nicaragua are themselves highly indebted poor countries and have most to gain."@en1
