"Mr President, Mr De Gucht, Mr Caspary, it is a fact that, despite improvements in the legislation, trade unionists in Colombia are still being murdered. The gap between the reality and the standards is widening. In 2010, 49 trade unionists were murdered. Mr Howitt has given us the figures for 2011 and there has been no improvement. Therefore, we need an effective sustainability chapter. The free trade agreement states that the relevant international standards must be complied with. What does this mean? The agreement does not contain a list of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions in question. Furthermore, in contrast with the agreement with South Korea, there is no reference to fair and ethical trade. This is a major omission, particularly because there are no structures in place for social dialogue or for dialogue with civil society. This means that we need a mandatory action plan covering compliance with labour standards."@en1
