"Madam President, open, free and fair trade is essential for ensuring and maintaining a level playing field for European businesses. Nonetheless, both companies and trade analysts, as well as the European Commission, have identified non-tariff barriers as the main hindrance to free access to partner countries’ markets.
Since trade restrictions of this kind are highly technical in nature, they are perhaps being misused and it is extremely difficult to remove them. That is why a good starting point for overcoming these obstacles may be to work closely with the WTO and other trade organisations.
The European Union needs to address this issue vigorously by seeking to remove barriers so as to complete the single market and by prioritising this issue in the new trade policy within the Europe 2020 strategy. Businesses need this, and so does development."@en1
