lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I have listened very carefully to Mr Patten. Ladies and gentlemen, despite the efforts made over the past decade, the situation in Mercosur and Latin America in general is once again a cause for concern. The regional associations are adversely affected and Mercosur is suffering serious problems, preventing it from getting off the ground. We do not know if the Argentine crisis has reached its lowest point, Uruguay and Paraguay are experiencing serious difficulties and Brazil, despite considerable aid from the International Monetary Fund, is, at the very least, cause for certain doubts. The European Union and each Member State can and must do far more. The de-institutionalisation of the region, the loss of prestige of parties and politicians, the strong upsurge in certain populist movements and tyranny that have caused so many problems in Latin America are all worrying. We cannot continue to sit by passively observing the extreme situation in Argentina. Mr Patten, if we look at the Union budget, the budgetary headings allocated to the development of the region of Latin America as a whole do not always confirm what you have just told us. It is true that Mercosur has regressed, just as Mr Patten said. It is also true that in Argentina, it is the leaders themselves who must adopt measures to prevent the situation, which is already serious enough in itself, from worsening. This involves economic, fiscal and financial measures and sacrifices requiring still greater effort for the Argentine people. The Union and its Member States, however, should adopt drastic measures to kickstart these countries’ economies, which should be covered by the Community budget, and which are not currently included, giving special priority to exports and showing the necessary courage and resolve so that our representatives in the international financial bodies can adopt these measures urgently in order to prevent further delays."@en1
