"We have been asked to express an opinion on reprioritising our development cooperation with Latin America. I voted in favour of Mr Cortés Lastra’s report as it highlights the need to move towards renewed cooperation with Latin America. This is a chance for the EU to stop with the neoliberal policies of the past. Promoting growth does not provide prosperity for all. Social cohesion is key to this process. Growth and the fight against poverty cannot be systematically linked. The EP will soon be questioned about its approval of the free trade agreement with Colombia and Peru and on the association agreement with Central America. They go completely against the objectives of our development policy. The European Commission has always mistakenly interpreted development policy through the prism of international trade. It is time we turned this logic on its head and focused mainly on coherent development policies in any agreement. The report rightly points out the need for all EU policies to be coherent and for systematic compliance with environmental and social standards, while including civil society."@en1
