"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I would first like to thank both the European Commission and the governments of Colombia and Peru for the great efforts made to successfully reach this agreement.
I give my full support to an agreement that will undoubtedly benefit both regions, both Colombia and Peru, and will help to improve human rights conditions in Colombia.
This agreement is an example for a key region for the European Union, as is South America. I am concerned about another agreement, however, one that the Commission is about to start negotiating. The Commission should show that it roundly defends the legal security of the investments that are made, which are so important in improving trade flow between both parties.
I would like to take this opportunity, therefore, to ask Commissioner De Gucht about the measures being considered when it comes to the Repsol YPF issue. As has been the case with the agreement with Colombia and Peru which we are debating here, the best guarantee to reach a possible successful agreement with Mercosur would be a strong and decisive response from the European Union when it comes to the Repsol case.
We should not allow our allies on the other side of the Atlantic to be more robust than we are when it comes to an issue that affects Europe."@en1
