". Madam President, I would like to congratulate Maria Koppa for the fine job she has done and to express support, on behalf of my political group, for the position favouring the agreement between the European Union and the Palestinian Authority of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip on the liberalisation of trade in agricultural and fisheries products. Our debate is taking place at a time when changes are occurring to a process which has gone through, so far, decades of bloody stalemate. In light of this, the decision to facilitate access for Palestinian exports to the internal market conveys the European Union’s determination to make an active contribution to the process of building a functional economy. Economic and political aspects are interdependent in the relations between the European Union and the Palestinian Authority. A fragile economy, extreme poverty and huge unemployment are factors which fuel the potential for conflict in the region. Encouraging trade means that we are not only helping to reduce poverty, but also to strengthen political institutions. The Palestinian Territories’ economic development also depends on products originating from the Gaza Strip and the West Bank gaining access to the European market. When implementing this agreement, it is important to focus particular attention on the regulations concerning origin. In this regard, the judgment made by the European Court of Justice on the Brita case on 25 February 2010 is applicable, whereby the Palestinian authorities are deemed to be the only authorities able to issue the documents confirming the provenance of products manufactured on the Gaza Strip and West Bank."@en1
