-----in a committee would come to the view that this particular agreement should be voted down against the views of the Government.

Sinn Féin does not support this motion. We do not believe that the Irish Government should ratify the EU-Colombia Free Trade Agreement. To quote representatives of the people of the Putumayo province: "We are opposed to the EU's Free Trade Agreement with Colombia because it will only serve to create more violence, more displacements and it will further destroy communities and the natural environment."
