"I abstained from the vote on this report, because it represents a continuation of the double standards applied by the EU in its development policy. This report makes a number of complaints regarding the absence of policies consistent with the development policy the European Union has been implementing in relation to developing countries. However, the same problem exists in respect of the need for coherence between development policy and the Lisbon Treaty and Europe 2020 strategy, two political instruments serving the neo-liberal European cause that are ultimately the cause of the problems preventing the eradication of poverty in the countries in question. I also voted against the double standard the EU applies in imposing human rights requirements on certain countries, but not on those with which it signs trade agreements. These are the reasons for my decision to abstain from this vote."@en1
