lpv:translated text	". − This is just another example of defending the interests of European Union’s large companies and financial institutions, at the expense of industry in the countries with the most fragile economies. By introducing emergency autonomous trade preferences for Pakistan, the European Commission is bringing the narrow commercial interests of a few – business, pure and simple – into the field of humanitarian aid. It is an exercise in hypocrisy, which uses the natural disaster that has devastated Pakistan to satisfy the aspirations of a few big companies in the EU’s powers, which will damage the EU textile industry, and the countries and regions most dependent on it. It is a serious blow for a sector that has been hit hard by the liberalisation of world trade; that is concentrated in regions with high levels of unemployment and poverty, and little economic diversification, such as several regions in northern and central Portugal. Therefore, we voted for the proposal to reject the agreement, and regret that it was not adopted. However, we also voted for it to return to the Commission, in the hope that it is still possible to take into account the position of the Portuguese Parliament, which adopted a resolution against these trade concessions. The necessary solidarity with Pakistan must be genuine aid based on development aid and cooperation policy."@en1
