"Mr President, almost six years have passed since the conclusion of the peace agreements. Nonetheless, MINUGUA, the United Nations Mission to Guatemala admits the agreements are stalled. Regression has even been noted in some cases.
As Mr Liese rightly pointed out, the House has been addressed by small farmers from Guatemala and by representatives of the institutions in that country. It was stated clearly that some of this regression involved the murder of small farmers or threats against them. The rights of the indigenous people are again being violated. The judiciary lacks the means to administer justice. Even the National Coordinator for indigenous peoples and small farmers has denounced the lack of security regarding land.
We were therefore requested to ensure that the peace agreements are put firmly back on track when the next advisory group meeting is held in May of this year. Renewed effort is called for on the part of the European Commission to promote the peace agreements. This is especially urgent in certain basic areas such as the fight against impunity, appropriate fiscal reform and the fight against poverty. More work is also needed on land distribution, together with a law on registration and land registry information. These were the main points agreed during the seminar Mr Liese mentioned."@en1
