".
I have for a long time monitored developments in South Africa’s socio-political situation and I believe that reinforcing cooperation with the major countries of southern Africa could promote development and strengthen democracy in that region.
I share the rapporteur’s view that trade and development policies must be geared towards combating poverty, to promoting employment and social justice, to creating wealth, to ensuring a fair distribution of income and to general economic, social and cultural development.
It is, however, crucial that, in this context of combating the social causes of the insecurity currently facing that country, we do not overlook measures for effectively halting the spiral of violence, which has resulted in countless innocent victims, including many citizens of Portuguese nationality or extraction.
I believe that allocating EUR 15 million of EU funds for restructuring the wines and spirits sector must take account of the breach of industrial property rights arising from the illegal use of traditional European wine names, such as those associated with Port wine, by South African producers.
In order to reaffirm the desire for EU cooperation with southern Africa to promote democracy and development there, I voted in favour."@en1
