"The introduction of a European marking system for manufactured goods imported from third countries must enable consumers to know exactly which country the goods they buy come from. They will thus be able to identify those goods by the social, environmental and safety standards commonly associated with that country. European consumers have a right, in fact, to know the origin of the goods they buy and hence to enjoy the same rights as the citizens of other countries. This regulation will also help create a level playing field with many trading partners of ours which already impose mandatory origin marking on imported goods. It is in fact essential to guarantee fair conditions of competition with the producers of the EU’s main partners. I believe that these rules could also help increase the volume of exports from developing countries, since many European consumers are anxious to protect these countries’ craft businesses and small businesses in the face of the multinationals. Lastly, due to the specific nature of pharmaceutical products, I share the view that they should not be included in the list."@en1
