"Relations with Canada have long been profitable for both parties and, in commercial terms, are of mutual interest and involve good cooperation. Despite the fact that Canada is a developed country, where very few questions could be raised over the level of respect for social rights and the highest environmental standards, the Commission – before Parliament, even – has set out a basis for negotiations with the equivalent Canadian authorities which goes into detail on many issues that need to be modified in order for us to be satisfied.
I am voting in favour of this resolution, which relates to a chapter of the European commercial policy that should be taken as a model for negotiations with other countries – including India, China and Pakistan – which certainly do not guarantee fair competition, let alone respect for social rights and environmental standards, as Canada does. When we embark on negotiations with these countries, we should remember how strict and exacting we have been with extremely enlightened places like Canada and adopt the same direct and open attitude in defence of our interests."@en1
