"This motion for a resolution, tabled further to an oral question on behalf of the Committee on International Trade, concerns the EU trade agreement with Colombia and Peru. For years, Colombia has been considered a haven for drugs producers and traffickers. Unscrupulous individuals have taken advantage of the poverty in which the majority of the population live to exploit them. Thanks to international cooperation, these countries have started a process of reforms and combating drug trafficking, with very positive results. Colombia has exceeded International Labour Organisation forecasts on adopting the advocated measures and Peru has implemented the United Nations Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families. Despite the improvements relating to respect for human rights and the rule of law, the two countries are aware of the need to continue improving in this area. I voted in favour because I believe this free trade agreement could help these countries to combat poverty and social exclusion, and to replace the growing of narcotics with saleable consumer goods, thereby increasing exports to the EU, the main importer of goods produced in Peru."@en1
