"I voted against the reports on the EPAs with the Caribbean islands, and also against the Côte d’Ivoire interim agreement, among others. Parliament has voted for the interim agreement with the Côte d’Ivoire, for example; it is a country plagued with internal conflicts and without a legitimate government.
In these circumstances, I simply feel that it is not the best time to enter into an international agreement with long-term consequences. Under pressure from the World Trade Organization, the European Union has withdrawn from the cooperation agreements with the ACP countries and has replaced them with economic partnership agreements with individual countries, in many cases damaging the power of the regions.
The first agreements, imposed by Europe, have been strongly criticised by NGOs and investigators in those countries, and today Parliament has reviewed them."@en1
