A. като има предвид, че зачитането на демокрацията, правовата държава и на пълното спазване на правата на човека, както и цялостното зачитане на гражданските и политически права на гражданите на двата региона, са основни предпоставки за развитието на асоциирането между страните,
A. whereas respect for democracy, the rule of law and the full enjoyment of human rights by all individuals, along with full respect for the civil and political rights of the citizens of both regions, are the basic conditions for the development of the association between the parties,
Б. като има предвид, че гаранцията за всички граждани, да се ползват изцяло от основните права, и по-специално по отношение на лицата в по-неблагоприятно положение, като представителите на коренното население, както и укрепването на тяхното социално и политическо участие са основните елементи на споразумението,
B. whereas the guarantee that all citizens, especially the less privileged among the indigenous peoples, will be able to fully enjoy their fundamental rights, and their more active social and political participation, are key elements of the agreement,
В. като има предвид усилията и готовността, показани от Андската общност по отношение на сключването на Споразумение за асоцииране с Европейския съюз въпреки вътрешните трудности, с които е трябвало да се справи,
C. whereas the Andean Community has been endeavouring to conclude an association agreement with the European Union and shown its willingness to do so despite the internal difficulties with which it has had to contend,
Г. като има предвид, че мандатът за водене преговори по бъдещото споразумение трябва ясно да определя, че става въпрос за сключване на споразумение за глобално асоцииране между страните, което да включва политически диалог, характерен за всяка истинска асоциация, както и програми за сътрудничество и създаване на зона за свободна търговия, от която ще имат полза всички граждани на двата региона,
D. whereas the negotiating guidelines for the future agreement must make perfectly clear that the intention is to conclude a general association agreement between the two parties, including political dialogue as befits a genuine association, cooperation programmes and a strategic economic and trade alliance, which would benefit all the citizens of both regions,
Д. като има предвид, че на 13 юни 2006 г., президентите на страните от Андската общност се срещнаха в Кито и реагираха позитивно на дефинираните във Виена изисквания и постигнаха съгласие за консолидиране на тяхната воля за интеграция и насърчаване на процеса по започване на преговори за споразумение за асоцииране между Андската общност (CAN) и ЕС;
E. whereas on 13 June 2006 the Presidents of the four Andean countries met in Quito, responded positively to the Vienna requirement and agreed to consolidate their desire for integration and push forward the process leading to the start of negotiations on the Association Agreement between the Andean Community (CAN) and the EU,
Е. като има предвид, че създаването на Парламентарна евро-латиноамериканска асамблея (EuroLat) представлява решаващ етап в укрепването на демократичната легитимност и политическата перспектива в отношенията между ЕС и Латинска Америка, и по-специално между ЕС и Андската общност, и че тази асамблея ще бъде постоянен форум за политически диалог между двата региона,
F. whereas the establishment of the transatlantic Euro-Latin American Assembly (EuroLat) has done a great deal to enhance democratic legitimacy and the political dimension of the EU’s relations with Latin America and with the CAN in particular, and whereas the Assembly will act as a permanent forum for political dialogue between the two regions,
