"Mr President, Commissioner, we are, of course, in favour of trade agreements, but, in particular, fair and balanced trade agreements, which ensure the protection of human rights.
If we consider the sustainable development chapter, it looks extremely weak and is not binding. The exception is the conflict resolution mechanism, and civil society can only give an opinion on its contents, but not on the Free Trade Agreement as a whole.
Colombia and Peru first need to fulfil certain conditions prior to ratification, among which are: proven improvements in human rights; to return lands to the farmers; effective demobilisation of the paramilitaries; cooperation with European justice; abandonment of the military justice reform, which writes a blank cheque for impunity; and, of course, protection of indigenous villages.
There is also a need to revise the financial services chapters, which are allowing authorisation of what is being restricted in Europe."@en1
