"The EU has concluded numerous agreements, and will continue to conclude them. Some of them are welcome; others, however, absolutely must be rejected, in my opinion. While the agreement with Latin America is not perfect – as there are a few points that could have been changed – overall, it is an agreement worthy of support. With this agreement, the EU is making a contribution to integration in Latin America. This agreement makes it possible to create jobs, fight poverty, drive forward political, economic and trade-based integration in the region and other things besides. However, I find it necessary to highlight the absence of a comprehensive EU policy and a regional approach to Latin America in support of South-South cooperation (SSC), and the lack of clear EU policy guidelines in regard to SSC and inter-regional association aiming at the creation of autonomous spaces for coordination and political cooperation among Latin American countries, without European or North American involvement. Given that some are predicting that, by 2015, China’s trade with Latin America will surpass that of Europe, this is something that we need to counteract. There are a few things we can take from this agreement. All things considered, I therefore voted in favour of this agreement."@en1
