"I voted against the resolution tabled by the European right, as it promotes an ultraliberal vision of the EU’s trade relations with India. The right systematically opposed the amendments that I tabled on behalf of the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament in order to rule out any liberalisation of public services, strongly condemn child labour, request legally binding clauses on corporate social responsibility and demand respect for the principle of equal pay for equal work with regard to Indians who will come and work in Europe in the future. The compromise was impossible, the differences of opinion obvious and irreconcilable. Only the resolution tabled by my group, together with those by the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance and the Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left, offered a progressive vision of EU-India trade relations. Unsurprisingly, it could not hold out against the right-wing majority in Parliament, which is a shame."@en1
