"I voted in favour because it is necessary to increase the level of protection in order to close the loophole and preclude circumvention. At the same time, the EU’s trade partners and all WTO members must be adequately compensated via tariff-rate quotas. Following negotiations under Article XXVIII of GATT 1994 concluded in 2007 on poultry the EU has witnessed a dramatic surge in processed poultry imports. Foreign exporters seemed to take advantage of a relative gap in the level of protection by reducing chicken meat/offal content in preparations to under 57 %, which is the minimum allowable rate in the tariff line. In future, similar substitution effects are likely to take place under other tariff lines, covering other types of processed poultry. As the surge in prepared poultry meat imports has negatively affected the European poultry industry, the Commission was authorised by the Council to negotiate the modification of concessions on poultry meat under Chapter 16 of the Combined Nomenclature (CN)."@en1
