"I voted for the report on defining a new cooperation development policy with Latin America because, according to the Treaty of Lisbon, the overall objective of development cooperation is to eradicate poverty and promote sustainable economic and social development, including the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) by 2015. Latin America and the EU form a bi-regional strategic partnership based on common values and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, with Brazil and Mexico being two of the EU’s new strategic partners in the world. The EU is also the principal investor and the second largest trade partner, as well as the principal donor of development aid in the region. The priorities that the EU has in development cooperation and, by extension, with Latin America include energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, transport, protection of biodiversity and support for SMEs. Against this background, the conclusion of an EU association agreement with Mercosur will boost cooperation and development between Latin America and the EU, provided that it is based on the fair trade principle and on respect for international standards relating to labour, the environment, public procurement and intellectual property rights. Latin America-EU trade exchanges are a crucial factor in alleviating poverty and ensuring prosperity on both continents."@en1
