"The purpose of this proposal for a regulation is to extend until the end of 2015 a series of trade preferences awarded to the countries and territories benefiting from the Stabilisation and Association process: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Kosovo. These preferences, which are set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009, of 30 November, expired at the end of 2010.
The rapporteur believes that the end of the trade preferences could harm these countries and what he calls their domestic reform and transition processes. These processes are bound up with the major EU powers’ progress in the region, and seek their domination in market and geostrategic terms, using the so-called ‘EU enlargement strategy’ to this end. The regulation provides for measures that the Commission could adopt ‘should imports of agriculture and fishery products cause serious disturbance to the EU markets and their regulatory mechanism’. However, the use of these measures is at the Commission’s discretion, and we believe that they do not adequately protect the Member States that feel they have been treated unfairly. The products involved include fish, meat and wine, which could be considered sensitive for some countries."@en1
