lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of the interim report on the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement with Uzbekistan. Parliament has every reason to make any amendments to the agreement conditional on compliance with minimum standards with regard to child labour, in view of the situation in the former Soviet Republic in which hundreds of thousands of school-aged children are taken out of school and sent to work in the cotton fields on the cotton harvest for months at a time. We must insist that the European Union only give the go-ahead to the agreement if Uzbekistan accepts the International Labour Organisation (ILO) monitoring missions. The agreement in itself would favour the economic interests of our businesses, which would get raw materials on favourable terms. However it is unacceptable that children should be exploited for intensive work on the cotton harvest, and we will only be able to give our consent to the agreement when Uzbekistan shows that it is willing to put an end to this grievous situation."@en1
