lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we gladly give the agreement between the European Union and Mexico the benefit of the doubt. At the same time, we would request the Council and Commission to provide the European Parliament with continuous and comprehensive updates on the mutual effects this agreement has. This explicit request is tied in closely with the promising initiatives which the new Mexican President, Vincente Fox, is currently developing. These are efforts which are clearly aimed at supporting neglected population groups, in the first place the country’s very extensive Indian community, by investments and considerable regional autonomy. A courageous goal in the face of huge resistance, both politically and socially. This holds a pleasant, joint development task in store for the European Union and the United States. At the end of the day, we in Strasbourg and Brussels do not wish to have the reputation worldwide of being cool and collected customers. In short, wider market access and an improvement of the Mexican position in the world economy requires an approach which is more humanitarian than one-dimensional liberalisation. We can certainly identify with the social focus which the rapporteur, Mrs Lucas, has opted for amidst the needs of the Mexican population. In her explanatory statement to the agreement, she mentions the adverse effects this agreement has on the Mexican constitution several times. However, that is primarily a domestic matter, in our opinion. But that does not affect our wish for the rapporteur’s commitment to rub off on the Council and Commission in their dealings with the Mexican partners."@en1
