lpv:translated text	"I welcomed this document because its objective is to conclude an agreement with New Zealand including Bulgaria and Romania. In order to meet WTO requirements, two issues are addressed in the agreements. Firstly, the compensation of higher tariffs which are to be compensated. The method most often used is to open a country allocated tariff rate quota or increase existing ones. Secondly, the pre accession erga omnes tariff rate quota for Bulgaria and Romania (not country-allocated but open to the whole world) also needs to be added to the existing erga omnes tariff rate quota for the EU. This agreement concerns sheep and goat meat (for Australia and New Zealand) and high-quality beef. New Zealand is entitled to a restoration of its trading rights, which were eroded slightly due to the enlargement of the EU customs union to include Romania and Bulgaria. The purpose of a customs union or free-trade area should be to facilitate trade between the constituent territories and not to raise barriers to trade with other countries that have concluded agreements with these territories. This agreement is another sign that the EU wishes to respect the rules of the multilateral trading regime. I believe that the Commission was right to choose an increase of the tariff rate quota for New Zealand for the products in question because it is the most appropriate instrument for compensating a country that deserves compensation."@en1
