1 ASAMBLEA PARLAMENTARIA EURO-LATINOAMERICANA EURO-LATIN AMERICAN PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY ASSEMBLEIA PARLAMENTAR EURO-LATINO-AMERICANA ASSEMBLÉE PARLEMENTAIRE EURO-LATINO- AMÉRICAINE PARLAMENTARISCHE VERSAMMLUNG EUROPA-LATEINAMERIKA Committee on Political Affairs, Security and Human Rights EUAL_PV(2017)0523_1 MINUTES of the meeting of 23 May 2017, Florence, Italy Medici Riccardi Palace - Luca Giordano Room The meeting opened at on Tuesday, 23 May 2016 with Artis Pabriks, (EP Co-Chair) et Haroldo Rodas Melgar (Parlacen Co-Chair) in the chair. 1.

2 Initial consideration of joint motion for a resolution The co-rapporteurs focused on the need for a multilateral legal framework for sovereign debt restructuring. This problem, which had particularly affected developing countries in the past, was now spreading to the industrialised countries. The United Nations also had an important part to play in efforts to resolve the problem. The joint motion for a resolution would be put to the vote at the EuroLat plenary session in September, the deadline for tabling amendments being 7 July. Speakers: Ernesto Urtasun (Greens/EFA, ES), Angel Rozas (Parlatino, Argentina), Oscar Perez Pineda (Parlandino, Colombia) and Ramon Jauregui (S&D, ES) 5. Draft report on: Trafficking in small arms and light weapons EP co-rapporteur: LAC co-rapporteur: Ulrike Rodust (S&D, Germany) Gabriela Cuevas (EU-Mexico JPC, Mexico) Initial consideration of two joint motions for resolutions The co-rapporteurs indicated that Latin America was particularly affected by armed violence, resulting in murder rates that were among the highest in the world. At the same time, the sovereign states had the right to defend themselves, which meant that the arms trade was understandable. However, the current proliferation of weapons, fuelling a highly lucrative trade, largely exceeded the legitimate needs of individual states. The UN Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) should therefore be implemented. Having failed to agree on a joint motion for a resolution on trafficking in small arms and light weapons, the co-rapporteurs were urged to draw up an agreed text without delay so that it could be put to the vote at the September plenary session, the deadline for tabling any amendments being 7 July. Speakers: Evelyn Regner (S&D, OS), Gloria Oquelí (Parlacen, Honduras), Juan Carlos Restrepo (Parlandino, Colombia), Mariano González (Parlandino, Peru) and Saul Ortega (Parlasur, Venezuela). 6. Working documents on Justice and combating impunity EP co-rapporteur: LAC co-rapporteur: Renate Weber (ALDE, Romania) Victor Sousa (Parlandino, Peru) Initial consideration of working documents The co-rapporteurs observed that impunity was a threat to human rights and encouraged corruption and organised crime. As a countermeasure, they proposed a number of legislative changes and, as far as possible, the harmonisation of judicial systems in Europe and Latin America, as well as greater transparency and a more comprehensive exchange of information between bodies specialised in the field.

3 Justice and combating impunity would be subject of a future joint motion for a resolution drawn up by the co-rapporteurs. Speakers: Renate Weber (ALDE, RO), Gloria Oquelí (Parlacen, Honduras), Mariano González (Parlandino, Peru) Jorge Pizarro (EU-Chile JPC) and Luis de Grandes (EPP, ES). 7. Working documents on EU-LAC cooperation in the field of aviation and air safety EP co-rapporteur: LAC co-rapporteur: Consideration of working documents Luis de Grandes Pascual (EPP, ES) Mariano González (Parlandino, Peru) Exchange of views with Carlos Salazar Diez de Sollano, Head of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) office in Brussels The co-rapporteurs and Mr Carlos Salazar stressed the growing importance of the aviation sector in both Europe and Latin America. In this context, priority should be given to air safety. It would therefore be necessary to extend the existing air transport agreements between the EU and certain Latin American countries (Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Panama and Paraguay) to other countries in the region. EU-LAC industrial cooperation should also encompass aviation, an important sector in which the EuroLat Assembly, which brings together European and Latin American members, could play a major role. EU-LAC cooperation in air transport and air safety would also be subject to a future joint motion for a resolution by co-rapporteurs Luis de Grandes Pascual and Mariano González. The following spoke: Luis de Grandes (EPP, ES), Mariano González (Parlandino, Peru) and Mr Carlos Salazar Diez de Sollano (EASA). 8. Proposals for reports and topics for debate in committee meetings in 2017 and 2018 On a proposal from Senator Angel Rozas (Parlatino, Argentina), the committee decided to draft a report on the regulation of interest group activities in the European Union and Latin America.
