"I voted with the ECR in favour of the Cutaş report concerning the draft Council decision to extend the partnership with the Republic of Uzbekistan to cover trade in textiles. If the new protocol came into force, Uzbek cotton would receive MFN status, and there would be no quantitative restrictions on trade with the EU. The allegations against Uzbekistan that it uses forced child labour are serious, and an investigation into the situation by the International Labour Organisation would be beneficial, but long standing traditions that see a school-aged voluntary work-force put to work each year to collect cotton during the harvest, must also be taken into account. Following this we could then consider the potential advantages and disadvantages that could be brought to the situation by the temporary withdrawal of GSP status for Uzbek cotton imported to the EU."@en1
