"The purpose of this report is adoption of the protocol amending the partnership and cooperation agreement on textile products. However, the rapporteur puts restrictions on the conclusion of this agreement, owing to issues of human rights, democratisation and the rule of law. We consider the EU’s demand that the Government of Uzbekistan make ‘market-oriented reforms of Uzbekistan's agricultural sector’ and the offer of ‘assistance from the Union for the transition, ultimately, to a privatised and liberalised farming sector in Uzbekistan, in line with developments in neighbouring countries’ unacceptable, as they seek to interfere in a country’s internal affairs, openly siding with forces that support the interests of big business in the EU. On the other hand, we agree with concerns over the question of forced labour and forced child labour. We believe that the International Labour Organisation should, with the authorisation of the Uzbekistan Government, be responsible for checking this situation and helping with the aim of eradicating forced and child labour. The central issue here is defending this country’s independence and sovereignty, and the will expressed by its people."@en1
