"Although the effects of the global economic and financial crisis on Latin America have been less severe than in other regions, and in spite of positive economic forecasts, this region has 180 million people living below the poverty line and 10 countries in the region among the 15 countries with the highest levels of inequality in the world. The EU is the region’s principal investor and its second largest trade partner, as well as its largest donor of development aid. We need to sign the association agreement with Central America, create a Latin American Investment Facility, and establish dialogue on climate change, innovation, drugs and immigration. Furthermore, proposing the next development cooperation instrument (DCI) can bring added value. The new DCI should lay greater emphasis on combating poverty, inequality and exclusion, and on encouraging regional, budgetary and tax policies. It should also boost basic social services and investment in the areas of science, technology and innovation, in the fight against insecurity, in combating drug production, consumption and trafficking, and in promoting gender equality. I voted for the report for those reasons."@en1
