"First of all, on the alleged spying by the secret services, we are aware of the reports relating to this and we are taking this very seriously. The Commission has raised this subject in its dialogue with the Colombian Government
during the visit of DAS director Felipe Muñoz to the Commission in March 2010 and through the contacts between the EU delegation in Bogotá with the DAS and other government departments. We are going to continue to monitor this very closely.
With respect to the question by David Martin, yes, we have made that assessment. In the end, it is a political assessment. You know what the remedies are; they are the right ones. However, I agree with you that before talking about remedies, you have to be sure that the stance itself, of coming to a free trade agreement, is going to foster human rights – or, rather, that it is not going to impede human rights. Our assessment, and my personal political assessment, is that, given the overall situation in Colombia, the concluding of the free trade agreement is beneficial for human rights."@en1
