Plan-specific Solvency: Cuba Ethanol [1/2] 3801) The E.U. is the most effective agency for collaborating on climate and environmental issues due to trade and economic leverage. ROSALES, 12 [Osvaldo, Director of the International Trade and Integration Division of ECLAC; “Latin America and the Caribbean and the European Union: striving for a renewed partnership,” Feb, http://www.eclac.cl/publicaciones/xml/2/46362/LAC_European_Union_striving_for_renewed_partnership.pdf] There is a window of opportunity to reinvigorate the strategic partnership between Latin America and the Caribbean and the European Union: • In an international context of low growth in the European Union and sustained growth in Latin America and the Caribbean, the regional market represents a major opportunity for European exporters and investors. In turn, the European Union remains a major destination for Latin American exporters, as the largest integrated market in the world and with the highest per capita income. In addition, the European Union produces multiple goods and services which are important as productive inputs in the region and increase the competitiveness of its producers. Thus, the European Union is essential for the transfer of technology and knowledge to the region. • Given the high degree of complementarity between the export profiles of the two regions, there is significant potential to build and strengthen bi-regional value chains. • No less important, European firms are global leaders in the areas of environmental protection, climate change and corporate social responsibility. From this perspective, strengthening business alliances between Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean can help foster growth with equity and less carbon-intensive competitiveness, which should guide public policy in Latin America and the Caribbean in the coming years. Plan-specific Solvency: Cuba Ethanol [2/2] 3812) E.U. engagement with Cuba solves domestic economic development. TZIVELIS, 06 [Vassiliki, working toward a Masters Degree in European Studies at the College of Europe, Brussels campus; “The European Union’s Foreign Policy Towards Cuba: It Is Time to Tie the Knot,” March, www.miami.edu/eucenter/Tzivelisfinal.pdf] Considering that the EU has already invested diplomatic efforts and millions of euros in the hope of promoting the development of better living conditions for the Cuban population, and considering that the EU is an ideal partner for the promotion of a peaceful transition in Cuba, thanks to its economic and political expertise, the current standstill should be seized as an opportunity for the EU to re-evaluate its policy towards Cuba and define an approach that is aimed at “consolidating the economic and social changes, that are easing the way for a peaceful transition.” The European Social Committee had already encouraged such an approach in 1997: “The European Union is probably the partner in the best position economically, politically and culturally to make a multi-party Cuba a full member of the international community again. This is a necessary condition to facilitate the process of change. It is quite clear that the attempts to isolate Cuba internationally have not helped to reform the country’s structures but have, rather, reinforced its intransigence to change.” A new European foreign policy towards Cuba that includes this country in a geographically wide and long-term framework of cooperation, will significantly aid the Island to recover from the economic hardships and create a more democratic political system. The European Union would gain greater credibility in its foreign policy approach towards Cuba, not only because it would eliminate the inconsistencies which have been described, but also because it will have defined an EU policy independent of that of the United States and aimed at taking proactive and effective measures to guide, rather than recommend, a peaceful transition in Cuba. Plan-specific Solvency: Critical Immigration 3821) The E.U. has frameworks for including the experiences of immigrants, and incorporates Mexican migration issues into this framework. COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 10 [“MEXICO – EUROPEAN UNION STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP JOINT EXECUTIVE PLAN;” 5/16, http://www.consilium.europa.eu/uedocs/cms_Data/docs/pressdata/en/er/114467.pdf] Mexico and the European Union agree addressing migration issues, in particular in the context of the EU-LAC biregional dialogue on migration, according to a comprehensive approach, which considers the contributions made by migration while addressing its irregular aspects, based on the principle of shared responsibility embodied in the Lima Declaration. In this context, the respect for migrants' human rights is fundamental. Mexico and the European Union recognize the usefulness of the Global Forum on Migration and Development as a forum for discussion and sharing experience. After the Third Meeting held in Athens the 4 and 5 November 2009, the EU welcomed the acceptance of Mexico to organize the Fourth Meeting in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco in November 2010. 2NC Extensions: A/t #3 “International Actor Fiat” 3831) Counter-interpretation: The Negative should be allowed foreign government counterplans. This limits out NGOs and U.S. based agents that their fiat theory arguments are attacking. 2) Infinite Regress is inevitable. Within the U.S. government there are hundreds of agencies, and their interpretation allows any combination of states or domestic actors. Their interpretation does not solve limits. 3) Fair ground division: International actor counterplans are necessary to test the phrase “United States federal government” in the resolution and force the Affirmative to have a U.S. Key warrant. Otherwise the Affirmative would have too many possible advantages and plan mechanisms, in addition to getting away with an untested portion of the resolution, i.e. the agent. 4) Education: Which government should give aid is in some ways the core of a foreign assistance topic. Limiting out other countries means we will never compare different systems of aid or their effectiveness, which decreases topic-specific education. 5) Counterplans are necessary to check Affirmative bias like first and last speech and infinite prep time. 6) This is not a voting issue. At worst, you reject the Counterplan and evaluate the round as the Affirmative against our Disadvantages. They have only argued that the Counterplan is abusive, not that they cannot debate the other issues.
