Peru: EU External Trade
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what conditions will be placed on Peru to ensure its compliance with human rights requirements, with particular reference to the human rights of indigenous people, in negotiations on an EU-Peru free trade agreement; and what sanctions will be imposed if Peru does not meet those conditions.
- Answer
-
The Government regard trade agreements as important for economic growth and prosperity in developed and developing countries, helping to reduce the poverty that is often the driver of conflict, displacement and human rights abuse. We continue to raise matters of the human rights of indigenous people and will insist on tough and enforceable human rights conditions as part of any EU Free Trade Agreement with the Andean region.
