"Mr President, I would like to thank Mrs Mann for her work, but she has managed to make a totally technical report out of what is a rather political issue. In fact, the question of trade and trade relations between the EU and the industrialised countries, particularly the US, is a very hot topic. So it is a pity that she missed the opportunity to address it in a more political way. However, the proposal to establish a single budget line could simplify the work of the European Parliament as a whole and increase transparency. I do not therefore have a problem with her technical proposals nor indeed the Commission’s proposals.
It is a pity, however, that we failed to discuss whether we needed more export promotion and, if so, what for, and to go into this whole question in more detail. Instead she used the opportunity to expound a rather theoretical framework on trade which is her own rather than anyone else’s.
She also failed to deal with issues such as coherency with development issues and the very strong trade complex that we had. But once again simplifying the work of Parliament and the Commission is to be welcomed and therefore we will not be opposing this report."@en1
