lpv:translated text	"On Thursday Parliament will give its verdict on Mr Schröder’s report on Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs). I would be extremely disappointed if our institution’s first vote on this both very technical and highly political subject (since the whole future of our relations with the ACP States is at stake) were to result in the adoption of Mr Schröder’s report. The Socialist Group in the European Parliament will not vote in favour of this text, since it in no way reflects the concerns both of Europeans and of our ACP partners about the EPAs and the way in which they are negotiated. In contrast to the rapporteur’s position, the PSE Group has tabled and will vote in favour of a motion for a resolution which puts development back at the heart of the EPAs’ priorities, which rejects the liberalisation of public services and any negotiation on the Singapore issues or on services against the ACP States’ wishes, which promotes regional integration, which calls for huge financial support to bring the ACP States’ economies up to standard, and which takes account of the specific characteristics and fragilities of these countries, be they least developed countries or otherwise. These are the conditions that would make the EPAs acceptable agreements. Unfortunately we are still a long way away from them."@en1
