lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I welcome the rapporteur’s position that the agreement with Uzbekistan on trade in textile products should not be based purely on economic considerations. Tashkent denies that child labour is being used in the country, but its unwillingness to give access to representatives from the International Labour Organisation and other observers would suggest otherwise. The European Union must use all of its influence to change the situation. The country’s government is incapable of dealing with agriculture, halting the destruction of nature and the wasting of water. Whether we like it or not, companies from EU Member States that buy as much as a quarter of the country’s cotton are supporting this failing system. Half in jest half in earnest, I would propose that we should perhaps demand that all EU companies buying cotton from Uzbekistan mark their products ‘possibly manufactured using child labour’. Maybe this would help speed up change in the country?"@en1
