"The proposal we voted on this morning seeks to amend an existing regulation of the European Parliament opening an autonomous tariff quota for imports of high-quality beef from the United States and Canada, which puts an end to the long transatlantic dispute on the use of hormones in beef products. I support the proposed solution to the trade dispute and am voting in favour of the text. Specifically, the EU will progressively increase its tariff-rate quota for imports of hormone-free high-quality beef to a total of 21 500 tonnes in the first phase, and thereafter to 48 200 tonnes. This will inevitably result in a gradual reduction or suspension of the sanctions imposed on EU products by the United States and Canada. In order to make the implementation process more effective, the timetables for the first and second phases are the same for both the United States protocol and the Canada protocol: the second phase will begin on 1 August 2012 under the terms of both protocols. What we are asking the Commission to do is to ensure that the solution to the dispute will guarantee that imports of beef products will be in line with EU requirements."@en1
