"I voted against this resolution as I am against a multilateral trade agreement between the EU and Colombia and Peru. The new trade structure and the EU’s investment relations contained in the agreement neither guarantee nor examine the necessary social and environmental protection, nor are they leading towards a sustainable development model and the promotion of workers’ rights in Colombia. This agreement also completely ignores the current economic and social asymmetries between the parties and leads to an increase in inequality and poverty in a region with one of the highest levels of inequality in the world. It is unacceptable for the EU to negotiate a trade agreement with a country such as Colombia where there is ongoing systematic violation of human rights. In Colombia, 55 human rights defenders were killed or disappeared during 2011, a 40% increase on 2010."@en1
