"(
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, on 2 May 2006, Canada’s annual budget was introduced to Parliament, which recommends 100% tax reduction on all Canadian produced wines and beers. This budget is under discussion. However, such a budget will create unfair competition to European Union wines and beers. This goes against WTO principles. Exports to Canada are of particular importance to the European Union. In particular, in 2005 the European Union exported wines worth EUR 446 million and beers worth EUR 110 million.
The Commission must assume an active role and take the necessary actions to force the Canadian Government to implement its commitments to the WTO.
We have always adhered to the commitments we have made to the World Trade Organisation. The other nations should do the same."@en1
