"This report concerns the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council introducing emergency autonomous trade preferences for Pakistan. In terms of humanitarian aid, the European Union always leads the way. That was the case when floods devastated a large part of Pakistan, with enormous human and material losses. In addition to humanitarian assistance in the first hours of the disaster, the EU also sought other ways to support the country’s economic recovery, as is set out in the proposed regulation. I hope that Pakistan’s economy recovers quickly and that it is transformed into a prosperous country and not a refuge for terrorists. Nonetheless, I believe that humanitarian aid cannot be substituted by trade preferences. In spite of the fact that this report is better than the initial proposal, I believe that sectors like the European textile industry may be harmed. I am therefore voting against this proposal."@en1
