lpv:translated text	"Non-governmental organisations and UNICEF have been making regular efforts to direct the public’s attention to the issue of child labour and forced labour in Uzbekistan’s cotton industry. Children are led to believe that they will be in danger of being expelled from school if they do not take part in the harvesting of cotton. Those who do not fulfil their quota, and those whose cotton is not of a high enough standard, are condemned to beatings, detention or threatened with a downgrading of their marks. I fully support the rapporteur, who says that the European Parliament should not approve the amendment to the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement with Uzbekistan as long as there is no improvement in the situation with regards to the widespread use of child labour and the human rights situation in the country. Parliament will not be able to consider this agreement until the authorities in Uzbekistan allow representatives from the International Labour Organisation to conduct intensive independent monitoring in the country to ensure that genuine reforms are implemented and that they result in the abolition of forced labour and child labour."@en1
