ORAL QUESTION for Question Time at the part-session in September II 2008 pursuant to Rule 109 of the Rules of Procedure by Willy Meyer Pleite to the Commission

 Subject: Mexico: Human rights monitoring mechanism
 Answer 

Following the signing of the EU-Mexico Preferential Treaty, which includes a human rights clause, leading international organisations have repeatedly complained of serious human rights violations by the Mexican Government.

The European Parliament urged the Mexican Government to take action with regard to the Acteal massacre and more recently, with regard to feminicide.

Has the EU established any kind of mechanism for assessing the human rights situation in Mexico? Is civil society involved in this mechanism? Does the Commission intend to undertake any action to activate the human rights clause in Mexico, as a result of the human rights situation there?
