lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, because of the various discussions that have taken place the rapporteur has had an unusually long time to work on this report and she is to be warmly thanked for the efforts that she has made. I was interested to discover that the United Kingdom appears to be the second largest producer of ethyl alcohol and, along with other producers, is of course concerned at increasing imports but rather static Community demand. We know that imports into the Community have tariff concessions which have been agreed by the Council of Ministers. The industry tells me that there are subsidy regimes in the exporting countries which naturally they do not view very favourably. Our producers are also concerned about the prospect of duty-free entry from the 48 least-developed countries. We understand these concerns, but I do not believe that removing the prohibition on state aid provisions, which are provided for in Amendments Nos 7 and 19, is a solution to the problem. I would certainly hope that these will be opposed and I will be voting against them. On the positive side, the specific measures proposed by the Commission are welcome. They are certainly preferable to an interventionist organisation and I welcome the change in nomenclature that the rapporteur has introduced. I hope that the provisions are non-discriminatory, that they will provide for the continuance of the trade without any great hindrance, and that our competitiveness will not be too much affected by imports. The proposals do involve a minimum degree of administration and documentation. I hope that Parliament will reject Amendments Nos 7 and 19, in which case I will be able to support the report. I cannot say that this is the view of all the Members of the PSE Group, but it is certainly the view of some of us."@en1
