"Mr President, Commissioner, Mr Leichtfried, the negotiations on the trade agreement with Colombia, Peru and Central America and the corresponding stabilisation mechanisms and safeguard clauses have kept many of us and the Committee on International Trade very busy.
We are in favour of the proposed regulations because they secure a balance between various demands, all of them referring back to the principles of free trade, attending to Union interests, and international trade as a tool for growth and development based on environmental sustainability and respect for human rights. In particular, these regulations are designed to protect European companies and consequently the workers they employ – our farmers – especially those in the outermost regions of the European Union.
The safeguards and stabilisation mechanisms are effective for a limited time only, and we believe that the time period suggested is long enough for us to adapt our production system to the liberalisation measures included in the agreements and also for the countries in question to increase their exports considerably. That is why we voted in favour."@en1
