"Firstly, it must be stated that Colombia and Peru are currently developing well, even though they are still far behind the economic strength of the EU Member States. This is the reason why yesterday, I spoke in favour of the report on development cooperation with South America. In general, free trade agreements between industrialised countries and developing countries primarily serve the interests of western enterprises with global operations, and not so much the local economy in the partner countries, where the local structures that have grown up are often destroyed – the consequence of which is greater poverty and further migration. While the few enjoy the benefits of the free trade agreement, the majority of the population gets nothing out of it. In the present case, the European Parliament is therefore advocating a package of measures that should alleviate these negative consequences and strengthen human rights in the region. Since I am in favour of strengthening relations with Colombia and Peru, I also voted in favour of the resolution."@en1
