lpv:translated text	"I voted against granting exceptional autonomous trade preferences for Pakistan. Substantial corrections were introduced to the Commission’s initial proposal, which testifies to the added value of Parliament’s intervention in matters of international trade after the Treaty of Lisbon. Nonetheless, the text on the compromise reached between Parliament and the Council, with the help of the Commission, maintains the two original sins which caused me to vote against the report at first reading. Firstly, it is inadmissible that trade preferences be instrumentalised under the pretext of humanitarian aid, such as the floods of two years ago, for which the EU has appropriate financial tools available. Secondly, in spite of the initiative’s harmful effects – mainly for the European textile and clothing sector – having been substantially reduced in the final version, it is still the most vulnerable countries, like Portugal, that will pay the bill for the EU’s generosity towards Pakistan, which is not fair."@en1
