European Parliament
Hélène Goudin and Nils Lundgren (IND/DEM ),
in writing.
(SV)
The June List is strongly in favour of the realisation of the internal market. In order to bring this about, the EU has to have a common trade policy towards other states. Nevertheless, it is not the job of the EU to raise objections to India’s domestic political affairs.
The rapporteur finds fault,
inter alia
, with the Indian bureaucracy, with the structure of the public sector and with the regional policy of the Indian central government.
The June List champions the cause of national self-determination and sovereignty, irrespective of whether the state in question is in the EU or anywhere else in the world. We have therefore voted against this report.
Furthermore, we also do not rule out the idea of India having views on the EU’s trade and agriculture policies.
