lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report because it provides for the conclusion of economic partnership agreements (EPAs) between members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States and the EU and its Member States, and the detailed arrangements applying to products from the countries in question were set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007. This regulation offers duty free access to the EU market. Unfortunately, several countries have neither taken the necessary steps towards ratification of an EPA nor concluded comprehensive regional negotiations and the European Commission has therefore proposed that, as of 1 January 2014, those countries should be removed from the list of beneficiaries of this provision. Seventeen countries have not yet proceeded with their ratification process and, according to the European Commission, such a situation is not compatible with WTO rules. Essentially, it is proposed that measures should be taken that would increase the momentum of negotiations, but such agreements are difficult in nature and are hard to implement in rigid timeframes, so the proposed deadline (by 2014) is too short. The proposal also includes amendments to align the decision-making procedures with those of the Lisbon Treaty."@en1
