"It was with enormous personal satisfaction that I saw this pre-resolution – for which I was rapporteur here in the European Parliament – passed with 525 votes in favour (76.5%) and 64 abstentions (9.4%). It concerns Parliament’s consent for the trade agreement between the EU and Colombia and Peru. I should like to acknowledge my co-rapporteur for this pre-resolution, my German colleague from the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, Bernd Lange: we achieved a basis of mutual understanding, which constitutes the roots of this strong support for our report. In this pre-resolution, we acknowledge and support the enormous efforts of the Colombian and Peruvian Governments in recent years to protect human rights, workers’ rights, indigenous populations and the environment, and we call for greater civil society involvement in the practical implementation of these core values – on which we were unbending – and for acceleration of the reforms under way, which we think will make this agreement more applicable and transparent. Although we requested, as an add-on to this resolution, a road map from each of our Andean partners as regards each of these areas, from a strictly personal point of view, I believe the mechanisms set out in the report will, if scrupulously implemented, have the same results. We will vote on assent for the trade agreement in October."@en1
