I sidste ende stemte jeg for den fælles beslutning om generelle toldpræferencer (GPS) (RC7-0181/2010), selv om jeg er meget ked af og oprørt over, at det er lykkes for den colombianske ambassade at overtale nogle af vores kolleger til at udelade næsten alle referencer til behovet for at undersøge menneskerettighedskrænkelserne i Colombia og på grundlag af resultaterne afgøre, om toldpræferencerne for colombianske varer skal annulleres.
in writing. - In the end, I voted in favour of the common resolution on Generalised Tariff Preferences (GPS) (RC7-0181/2010) although I am very sorry and upset that the Colombian Embassy has been very successful in convincing some of our colleagues to keep out almost all references to the need to investigate the human rights violations in Colombia and decide on the basis of the findings in order to decide whether to withdraw the tariff preferences for Colombian goods.
