". Mr President, this report claims that the European Union is now in a much better position to develop its foreign policy and its national trade agreements with the countries of the southern Mediterranean. However, it is worth remembering that prior to this, the nature of the old regimes had never bothered the European Union or its governments, with which they had established close relations. In line with the European Commission, the report promotes the idea of more for more; in other words, the democratic reforms and individual freedoms should be reflected in a so-called liberation process in economic and trade terms by consolidating the Euro-Mediterranean free trade area. Is that, however, liberation or colonisation? So far, free trade agreements have only proved that they mean the loss of sovereignty of the people, the appropriation by multinationals of natural resources and biodiversity, increased foreign dependency for third countries and disaster for productive sectors in some Member States. What is needed is the establishment of fairer, more equal economic relations that serve the people and not free trade agreements that benefit certain economic and financial groups."@en1
