"Mr President, Commissioner, you were asking why we should give more time to some countries to meet their commitments to sign the partnership agreements. I believe the answer is that they are not all ready, given that they started from a very difficult political and economic situation. I would like to ask you: is it in our interest to help these countries progress, or should we leave them in a more precarious situation than the one they are currently in? I believe it is in our interest. I think, therefore, that the 2016 deadline we are proposing to you would allow them to meet their commitments, and we would also be providing greater legal certainty to European companies as well as companies from said countries, which should aid their development. I would also say that those two extra years do not mean a significant change in terms of our commitments to the World Trade Organisation. I am therefore going to vote in favour of this two-year extension tomorrow, and I would like you to take that into account, Commissioner."@en1
