"Madam President, six months after the floods in Pakistan the UN spoke of a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions. Another three months have passed, and there is still an entirely insufficient response by the EU and the WTO.
I voted in favour of granting Pakistan emergency trade preferences for textile and other products in the EU in order for these trade preferences not simply to be a purely token measure that filled the pockets of the corrupt elites in Pakistan. I call for effective control over the increased income by democratic trade unions to ensure that the money is directed towards rebuilding schools and hospitals in the areas affected by flooding.
A major threat to the collective interests of all workers in Pakistan has been brought to my attention by the Progressive Workers Federation of Pakistan. I oppose the disgraceful attempt and threat by the government to no longer allow trade unions to organise on a national level."@en1
