"I voted in favour of the motion for resolution on a trade agreement between the EU and Colombia and Peru. I welcome the resolution, which indicates a clear commitment from Europeans for respect for human rights and fundamental rights, including in our trade relations. I am glad that the Parliament warmly welcomes the recent efforts and progress achieved by the new Colombian Government as regards labour and human rights. I join my colleagues working in the INTA Committee in our plea for the Commission to assist Colombia and Peru in their progress and in implementing the changes that are now initiated. I am hoping that this resolution will pave the way for Parliament to approve this trade agreement, which would be hugely beneficial for both the EU and Andean economies. It will remove barriers to trade in services, public procurement and investment. Its benefits are clear: it will eliminate tariffs which have cost the European spirits industry EUR 35 million in the past 10 years. The agreement also has the potential to save EU agriculture exporters EUR 22 million annually. In the current economic circumstances, these export opportunities are vital to support jobs and growth in Europe."@en1
