"This own-initiative report is about the form to be taken in the future by cooperation between the EU and Latin America. At present there is an interparliamentary conference, but the European Parliament now wants to set up a parliamentary assembly with a permanent secretariat.
The report also contains a host of very bad proposals in areas in which the European Parliament should definitely not express opinions. For example, it is proposed to set up a solidarity fund, together with a ‘Plan for Latin America’. The June List objects to this proposal. It is certainly true that a very large part of Latin America’s population lives in poverty, but it is not the EU that is the solution to the problem. In relevant cases, aid should be provided by individual Member States or through UN bodies.
It is also proposed that, as soon as possible, the Latin American regional parliamentary assemblies introduce elections by direct universal suffrage to these assemblies in order to create a structure similar to that of the European Parliament. It is, of course, up to the countries concerned to decide for themselves how their interparliamentary cooperation is to be organised.
I have therefore voted against the report in today’s vote."@en1
