lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we will support this report and we thank the rapporteur for his work. I am the seventh or eighth person to take the floor to say the same thing. If the Commission really believes that what we debate in Parliament counts for something, it should take action tomorrow, not with a report, or a threat, or a proposal for a measure. If it is true, and here the whole House is saying the same thing, from left to right – that thousands of children are forcibly sent to work in the cotton fields (and I think that the evidence now proves that it is so), then we vote in favour of this report. Yet if, tomorrow morning, no practical action against the government of Uzbekistan is taken by the European Commission, it will mean that we have lost, and we have wasted our time here tonight, as well as helping to destroy the credibility of Parliament, the Commission and the European institutions, and that we have several hundred thousand children on our consciences. Children who, if the debate continues so slowly, will continue next year to do what they have been forced to do for decades. Therefore, we support this report. However, I hope that at eight, when the debate ends, and with tomorrow’s vote, the problem will not be shelved, and I hope that the Commission will act, today rather than tomorrow."@en1
