"This report by David Martin addresses the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 as regards the exclusion of a number of countries from the list of regions or states which have concluded negotiations. In accordance with World Trade Organisation rules, the preferential treatment that the European Union granted to the countries with which it established cooperation agreements ended in 2007. The Cotonou Agreement was concluded in 2008 and provides support to the developing countries under specified rules. After concluding negotiations with half of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries, the EU approved a new regulation exempting them from paying duty and quotas, in the expectation that they would all sign the new agreement. However, around 18 countries have not gone on to conclude the agreements. It is therefore imperative to force these countries to conclude the cooperation agreements with the EU as soon as possible. I agree with the Commission proposal to demand that the new agreements be signed by 1 January 2014, as we cannot continue with temporary measures that disadvantage third parties."@en1
