Trade unions united in opposing the EU-Colombia-Peru trade agreement
Meeting in Brussels this week, union leaders from Europe, Colombia and Peru reaffirmed their opposition to the draft EU-Colombia-Peru Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in meetings with key MEPs and Commission officials.
“The international trade union movement is united in this call for a vote against the FTA. To do otherwise would disregard the appalling human rights record in Colombia and continued labour violations in Peru and would damage the EU’s reputation as a leading force in the promotion of human rights and basic freedoms”, states a joint letter sent to MEPs ahead of the EP’s decision on the FTA.
The EP is set to vote on the ratification of the FTA before Christmas.
