"Mr President, this document is basically economic in nature, but it contains a far broader message for both partners. That message relates to political, social, educational, scientific and developmental matters.
We overcame minor differences between political groupings to reach common positions which were often the result of compromise. India can assume from this resolution that the whole of Europe is united in its desire to cooperate with a country with such a great historical heritage and economic potential. Of course, for our part, we shall highlight the difficulties affecting the people of India. In line with European standards, however, these difficulties should be openly discussed and gradually resolved. In order to achieve successful cooperation involving entrepreneurs and citizens, shared common values and aims need to be established. If that is not the case, all that will emerge will be declarations signed by governments and politicians, and we have seen plenty of ineffective documents of that sort drawn up by this House.
We are hoping for genuine cooperation that draws on the experience of past relationships, mainly between the United Kingdom and India. We trust, however, that it will develop into a cooperation partnership
free from the fetters of the past, which may be read as a reference to colonialism.
This document will serve as a basis and a springboard for a healthy exchange benefiting both partners. As shadow rapporteur, I move that it be adopted as it stands."@en1
