"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, in such a changing global geopolitical context, our Parliament, on several occasions, has expressed its unwavering determination to strengthen the partnership between our two continents.
As I see it, this new entity must be Mercosur. It can help us find ambitious, balanced and political solutions to the issues of energy supply, reducing the greenhouse effect or even the quality of our agricultural products.
The regional integration of South America cannot be furthered and cannot be effective if we choose to negotiate with one of the members of Mercosur, rather than working in partnership with the new entity as a whole.
For my part, I am campaigning for regional integration, which as I see it is a vehicle of stability and prosperity for this part of the world, and for us, and should be supported and monitored. I also think it would be a shame if Mercosur countries were to move away from this major project because of our lack of political ambition, and thus fail to seize this opportunity for both continents, Latin America and Europe.
This would clearly set us apart from the US policy of creating a vast economic free trade area for the entire American continent."@en1
