"For years now, alongside our African colleagues, we the socialists have joined forces to make the EPAs real development instruments. However, the progress made in just a few weeks is considerable. I hereby acknowledge it. I do, however, intend to keep an extremely close eye on its implementation. So there will be no ‘blank cheque’: I abstained. We have negotiated strongly and determinedly with the Commission to obtain fair agreements that promote the Millennium Development Goals. We have done so by opting for selective regionalisation conducted by the ACPs themselves. We have done so by fulfilling our commitments in relation to the trade-related assistance pledged in 2005, rather than by ‘pillaging’ the EDF. Today our fight has largely borne fruit, since the Trade Commissioner has made a commitment on behalf of the European Commission in relation to: the crucial objective of developing the agreements the renegotiation of the contentious points of the agreements on the basis of an open and flexible approach food security and the protection of the fragile industries of ACP countries. Obviously we would have liked more guarantees with regard to how the national parliaments and the ACP-EU Assembly will be involved in monitoring the implementation of the agreements."@en1
