lpv:translated text	"The reports of widespread child labour in Uzbekistan, especially for cotton picking, are worrying. This fact, still to be verified, constitutes a violation of the rights of the children involved, as well as of the international labour rules to which that this country is signed up. European industries, including textiles, cannot compete with those that flout these most basic rules in this way. I am voting for Parliament’s decision to only consider giving its approval if the Uzbek authorities allow International Labour Organisation (ILO) observers access, so that they can closely monitor the situation without hindrance and can confirm that palpable reforms have been implemented. I agree with the suspension of privileged relations with Uzbekistan if the ILO proves the widespread use of these practices, and that the Union should evaluate the possibility of creating a traceability mechanism for goods produced using forced child labour."@en1
