"Madam President, as in the case of most of the other economic partnership agreements, there was a great deal of concern over the EU’s approach to opening up markets asymmetrically. Particularly in the case of Côte d’Ivoire, there was concern over the fact that, actually, there was not really a stable government in the country, and there were concerns over whether you could make a deal with a country in that position.
But, once again, we have to recognise that the advantage of economic partnership agreements is that for the first time there is the possibility of listening to consumers and entrepreneurs in these countries rather than listening to the governments. And, when you speak to entrepreneurs in many of these countries, they say: please give us the access to goods and services that you currently enjoy in the North or the West so we can then create wealth, we can create jobs and we will no longer be dependent on aid in the long term.
It is only by helping the entrepreneurs, the wealth-creators, in these countries that we can take these countries out of long-term poverty."@en1
