"Mr President, on behalf of Andy’s constituency MEP, Glenis Willmott, who has championed his case, and on behalf of Andy himself, who told us this yesterday, this debate and resolution is not about Andy personally. It is about an attempt to cover up abuses, low wages and child labour in the production of fruit juice that we go to Carrefour, to Morrison’s, and to other supermarkets to buy and to drink.
To Thailand I say: do not criminalise those who uncover the abuses, criminalise those who perpetrate them. To Commissioner Malmstrom I say: you and I went together to the Dutch Presidency Conference on global supply chains. As CSR rapporteur I say: the Commission and Parliament together have championed the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. EU trade policy is supposed to support core labour standards and decent work. Commissioner, in your reply tell us what these words mean in Andy's case. What action have you taken and will you take so that the responsibility of European companies is fully upheld in the policies we say we follow and so that we are not as complicit as anyone in Thailand for the abuses that Andy has uncovered?"@en1
