"I welcome the resolution of the long running trade dispute between the USA and the EU on access for USA and Canadian beef to the EU market. However, I am disappointed that no efforts were made with this Memorandum of Understanding to introduce some reciprocity to the deal. The imminent publication of the US BSE rule, as announced at the weekend, is a significant show of good faith on the part of the US authorities. However, this is the start of a long process, and the EU must ensure that this is not used as a delaying tactic and that all market opportunities are secured for European farmers. As the USA now has the same OIE BSE status as Ireland, the reasons behind the original ban have been eliminated. At present, only 1% of Irish beef is exported to non-EU markets. Given the importance of agriculture to the European economy, we cannot afford not to push for access to large markets such as the USA, and we should take every opportunity for reciprocal deals for our farmers."@en1
