"Madam President, I voted in favour of this proposal on trade and economic relations between the EU and the United States, in part because of the important, balanced and complete report drawn up by Mr Moreira, for which I thank him. The proposal offers us a complete framework of the commercial and economic prospects and of the difficulties and challenges involved in the meeting of the two main world economies that together account for about half of global economic output and nearly a third of world trade flows. After many years of deadlock, we are now approaching a possible turnaround in bilateral relations, with the prospect of a far-reaching agreement between Europe and the United States that could open up positive scenarios for transatlantic relations. Naturally there are questions relating to tariff barriers, and an agreement of this scope would have to aim to remove the many trade and technical barriers that unfortunately persist. It would also deal with other important issues, such as the protection of indications of origin, the opening up of the public procurement markets and harmonisation of rules of origin and regulatory standards, including health and plant protection standards, where there is still too much divergence. However, this in no way detracts from the steps being taken."@en1
