"Mr President, tomorrow we will vote on the Free Trade Agreement with Korea, and this has been a long time coming. Most of us will agree that this is a win-win situation. It will be particularly beneficial for Europe’s farmers and economic operators. However, we must not ignore the fact that the agreement does not only bring advantages for European companies and Korean farmers. Some sectors will benefit from the agreement, whereas others will inevitably lose out. Thus, in future, EU citizens will be able to buy cheaper technology products and cars from Korea. In return, Korea will get badly needed food from Europe as well as medicines and luxury goods. The agreement may also lead to better environmental and working conditions in Korea – that is something worth mentioning and to be pleased about. I hope that the agreement can enter into force quickly, especially as the EU wants a first-mover advantage over the United States, which is also in negotiations with Korea in respect of a similar agreement. Finally, I would like to thank all of the rapporteurs involved for their untiring and highly competent work."@en1
