"Mr President, we expect consistency and policy coherence from the Commission, especially when it comes to our relations with developing countries, but this agreement is not consistent with the EU’s sustainable development goals. The weak sustainable development chapter provides for no mandatory monitoring or enforcement.
We have consistently asked the Commission for improvements, over more than a year, to give civil society a role in the monitoring of this agreement and to empower whistleblowers in the region, but it is only now, on the eve of the vote, that the Commission is responding – not with concrete legal proposals or commitments, but with promises of annual general dialogue without clarifying the follow—up to civil society complaints. I am sorry but this is not enough. This is not a proper sustainable development chapter or monitoring. Therefore, I agree with civil society in the region and with the united trade union movement in the EU and Southern Africa that this agreement currently falls far too short of the mark."@en1
