"I abstained on this report because I have serious concerns about the human rights situation in Colombia, especially as regards the serious violations of trade unionists’ rights. The reason why I did not vote against it in the end was that I considered the road map very worthwhile, as it proposes measures that are urgently needed. However, two crucially important proposed amendments were not adopted. I refer to paragraph 15, the key element, which provides that the resolution should contribute to respect for human rights in Colombia. Not only is control by the Andean Community required; the Commission must also participate in effective controls. Furthermore, the road map must enter into force before the vote on the ratification of the free trade agreement so as to ensure that the specifications of the road map are actually implemented and complied with. Only through cooperation between the Andean countries and the EU can it be guaranteed that this road map is also enforceable. It is also important that effective mechanisms are put in place immediately to end impunity (crimes going unpunished). That can only happen with the support and involvement of the European Union."@en1
