"The European Union is the second biggest trading partner of the Andean countries, after the United States, and Europe has also supported their respective governments in the processes of democratic transition. On 13 June, Parliament gave the green light to a trade agreement which aims to remove technical and tariff barriers to trade between the EU, Colombia and Peru. It should allow us to benefit from conditions of access ‘equivalent to those of the United States’ in Colombia and Peru. However, Parliament was anxious, before giving its agreement, to ensure that these agreements would have a positive effect on human rights and the improvement of employment and trade union rights, without which they would be suspended immediately. These agreements are therefore based on a reciprocity clause: economic integration is to be the means of combating poverty and strengthening social cohesion and sustainable development. In this regard, an independent group of experts will examine the situation of democracy in these regions in order to monitor their respect for these legal commitments."@en1
