"Mr President, I would briefly like to present my explanation of vote. I appreciate my colleague’s work with regard to the textiles issue. I am also pleased that the European Union and China have reached a settlement, but I cannot support the policy of the European Parliament, not to mention that of the EU, in this matter. The reason is straightforward: the principle at stake here should be free trade, not quotas. In my opinion, the EU’s policy in this matter has been far too protectionist, and it is consumers who suffer most for that, in the form of higher prices. In other words, I give my support to the Commission and those countries that are prepared to open up the textiles market, and not to block it."@en1
