"Mr President, although the economic crisis has not affected Latin America as badly as other regions in the world, since this year it is likely to achieve growth of 4.5%, there are still significant discrepancies between the Latin American countries in terms of wealth, and almost 200 million people live below the poverty line. The EU is the leading investor in the region, and the second largest trading partner after the United States. It is therefore very much in our own interest to take measures which support its development. There would appear to be a justified need to strengthen the EU’s presence in this region as a guarantee that it will follow the right path out of the crisis. Cooperating with average-income countries and supporting them will help them to harness their potential to fight poverty and to promote regional development. The key to ensuring prosperity on both continents is trade, and joint measures to support the fight against organised crime are also urgently needed. I support the resolution."@en1
