lpv:translated text	"I voted, together with my colleagues from the Socialist Group in the European Parliament, against the resolution that deals with the negotiations for a free trade agreement between the European Union and India because it does not take sufficient account of the social standards with which all trade agreements must comply. According to ‘Save the Children’, the Indian non-governmental organisation, an estimated 60 million children still work today in fields, restaurants or factories in India. I deplore the fact that the conservative majority in the European Parliament has refused to face up to this state of affairs by rejecting an amendment which highlighted the European Parliament’s concerns over the use of children for work, children who are frequently exploited in dangerous and unhealthy conditions. We also asked the Commission to tackle this problem at the time of the negotiations on the free trade agreement and we invited the Indian Government to do its utmost to eradicate the deep causes of this phenomenon and to put an end to it. By rejecting this position, the majority of the right in the European Parliament has placed European and Indian commercial interests above the protection of children’s rights, and I am unable to endorse this unacceptable position."@en1
