"Mr President, I voted in favour of this report on development cooperation with Latin America. I am, however, slightly concerned by the Commission’s current proposals on the development cooperation instrument, which seeks to reduce bilateral aid from the European Union to 11 middle income countries in Latin America and has entirely removed the provision of basic services from its list of priorities for the region.
Improved political and economic relations with Latin America must continue to be a priority for the European Union. We already have association agreements with Central America, Mexico and Chile, and hopefully soon with Colombia and Peru. Continuing to build on these relationships will bring major benefits to all parties concerned.
I welcome the new Pacific Alliance recently signed between Mexico, Chile, Peru and Colombia, which is a step in the right direction for more regional cooperation, both political and economic, at a time when the Pacto Andino and Mercosur are clearly floundering."@en1
