lpv:translated text	"My reasons for voting in favour of the resolution of 13 June 2012 on the EU trade agreement with Colombia and Peru are set out below. Negotiation of the free trade agreement between the EU and these two countries has been completed, but it has not yet been ratified by the European Parliament. The EU has a general policy of not entering into trade agreements with countries that have serious problems with human rights. I am therefore voting in favour of this resolution, as it lays down requirements and offers the governments of Peru and Colombia the opportunity to demonstrate that they are willing to improve their conditions in relation to human rights and workers’ rights. This is particularly relevant in the case of Colombia, as it is the most dangerous country in the world in which to be professionally active. The section of the free trade agreement about trade and sustainable development sets out that monitoring mechanisms are to be established that involve civil society organisations. The resolution makes reference to the fact that the legal framework for this is not yet in place in Colombia and Peru (paragraph 5). Furthermore, the resolution states that Colombia and Peru should establish domestic advisory groups (DAGs) with binding involvement for civil society in order to monitor the implementation of the free trade agreement (paragraph 7) and implement the Victims and Land Restitution Law (paragraph 17). The resolution is the best possible compromise and a necessary step in preparation for the European Parliament’s vote on the free trade agreement in the autumn."@en1
