"I voted in favour of this report because it is aimed at adopting a regulation setting out aid measures for Pakistan, which was recently affected by floods. Basically, this regulation seeks to extend autonomous trade preferences applied to 75 product lines. Despite the fact that humanitarian aid is already being provided, trade preferences would contribute even more to combating the negative long-term economic consequences of the floods. The recovery of the state of Pakistan is important not only for its citizens, but also for the overall stability of the region. Before determining how long to extend autonomous trade preferences for, it is important for the Commission to carry out a full assessment. This should assess the overall impact of the measures on EU trade and production, their effectiveness on the population and fiscal resources of Pakistan, as well as Pakistan’s commitments to improve the effectiveness of its taxation system. Strict compliance with the relevant rules of origin for products is necessary, as is ensuring that the trade preferences only benefit those they are intended for and it is also crucial that they truly serve Pakistan’s economic recovery. It is also important to stress that a worsening of the human rights situation in Pakistan in the future may lead to the suspension of the trade preferences."@en1
