I'm glad to hear that you believe in rules, because part of what we're trying to put in place is a rules-based system to treat everyone fairly.
When we talk about the labour cooperation agreement, Mr. Rosero, I'm struck by the fact that, again, the intention.... Perhaps I'll quote from the ILO conference in June of this year, the 98th session, where the ILO committee on the application of standards expressed “appreciation for the positive steps of the government of Colombia to combat violence and impunity to expedite the union registration process and transfer the government's authority to determine the validity of strikes to the judicial system”. I'm sure you're aware of that already.
I have a couple of simple questions. First, to your comment on rules being a good thing, do you accept that a rules-based agreement is better than a free trade agreement with no rules at all with respect to labour standards?
