lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr De Gucht, ladies and gentlemen, there is no doubt that the situation relating to human rights and the rule of law in Colombia and Peru needs further improvement. However, instead of focusing our attention only on the remaining problems, we must take into account the reality of life in these countries and look at the ongoing improvements made over recent years. Colombia and Peru have been struggling for years with varying levels of success and in the face of significant resistance from within their own countries in some areas to resolve their outstanding problems and to meet human rights requirements. I am firmly convinced that we must help the countries of South America in what they are trying to achieve and develop the flow of trade between us even further. Trade in goods and services not only brings economic benefits, but, most importantly, it also encourages people in Europe and South America to interact. This interaction is an essential means of gaining an even deeper understanding of the importance and the absolute value of the rule of law and human rights. Therefore, I am very pleased, Mr De Gucht, that the Commission has been able to give a satisfactory answer to the questions we have asked and shares my view that the free trade agreement with Colombia and Peru, which is currently in the consent procedure, represents an important step in the right direction."@en1
