Why I’ll be voting against the EU-Peru-Columbia trade agreement

Posted by Joe Higgins On March - 19 - 2010

At a Committee on International Trade meeting, Joe Higgins MEP criticises the right-wing members of the Committee for considering voting on a trade agreement that they have not see or had an opportunity to debate and negotiate.

Joe also raises questions over the neo-liberal, privatisation clauses of the agreement and whether the issue of human rights will be discussed in relation to it.
