lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of the conclusion of the agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of South Africa, of the other part, which amends the Trade, Development and Cooperation Agreement (TDCA). Since the TDCA entered into force, the trade in EU goods with South Africa has increased steadily. The EU is South Africa’s main trading partner; in 2009, the EU was the destination for about 34% of total South African exports and the source of about 35% of total imports to South Africa. The balance between imports and exports is clear, but my sole concern is with the production methods in South Africa for products exported to the EU: these should meet the same standards as those required of European producers in the same industry. These indicators suggest that the results of the first agreement concluded in 1999 can already be seen. Like the rapporteur, I would like the EU’s development cooperation objectives to be respected, the foremost of these objectives being to reduce and ultimately to eradicate poverty."@en1
