lpv:translated text	"As we stated during the plenary debate, this proposal for a regulation is an unacceptable form of pressure and blackmail on the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries which are refusing, with good reason, to conclude the so-called economic partnership agreements. These are nothing more than free trade agreements between the EU and ACP countries, which could have disastrous consequences for the fragile and undiversified economies of these countries, opening the door to the colonisation of their markets and further economic dependence and subordination. Our group proposed to simply reject the proposal which, regrettably, was not accepted by the majority of Parliament. The agreement between the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance and the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe succeeded in postponing for two years the end of the trade preferences granted to these countries. However, the idea behind this postponement (which was still a defeat for the Commission, which opposed it with the fundamentalism we have come to expect in this area) is very clear: to give the countries more time to conclude the agreements. That is, to leave the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the ACP countries. This is unacceptable."@en1
