"I voted for the resolution on the EU trade agreement with Colombia and Peru because this agreement aims to open up the markets for goods, services, public procurement and investment, and to promote global economic development. The purpose of the agreement is to reduce poverty, create new employment opportunities, improve working conditions and raise living standards by liberalising and expanding trade and investment between the territories of the countries participating in the agreement. The European Union is the second biggest trading partner of Colombia and Peru. The planned trade agreement provides for total liberalisation of trade in industrial products and fisheries, which could increase Colombia’s GDP by up to 1.3% and Peru’s GDP by up to 0.7% in the long term. An important part of the agreement is devoted to respect for human rights and democratic principles. Failure to respect these would also give rise to the possibility of terminating or suspending the agreement partially or totally. In this regard, we call on both Andean countries to ensure that a transparent and binding road map is drawn up on human and labour rights."@en1
