". − In addition to the many other issues raised by this resolution that we value, we consider it essential to stress that we unquestionably support the deepening of genuine and effective cooperation and friendship between the countries of the EU and India. This requires a relationship that is based on responding to the needs of each population, that is mutually beneficial and that contributes to reciprocal development, while respecting the principle of non-interference and respect for national sovereignties. However, based on these principles and assumptions, we clearly cannot agree with many of the proposals contained in this resolution, particularly on the conclusion of a ‘free trade’ agreement which aims to include, among other aspects, an ‘agreement on services’, ‘competition’, ‘public procurement’ and the ‘abolition of … ongoing restrictions in the field of Foreign Direct Investment’ between the EU and India. This proposal (and objective) seeks to respond to the desires for expansion of the major economic and financial groups – which were not formalised in the WTO negotiations aimed at liberalising world trade – in which the need to increase the accumulation and centralisation of capital is pre-eminent. This objective is contrary to the needs of workers and people in India and in the various countries of the EU."@en1
