Regulation (EC) No 732/2008 established a Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) that is valid until 31 December 2011. The GSP has been one of the EU’s main trade and development policy instruments for helping developing countries to reduce poverty, by generating income through international trade. Parliament’s consultation process with regard to the latest GSP was insufficient, and did not allow for wide-ranging negotiation. Parliament emphasised that in future more time will be needed for it to carry out its functions.
On 26 May 2010, the Commission proposed simply extending the period of application of the current regulation, claiming that there was not enough time to table a new regulation. This proposed extension did not take into account the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon. Parliament raised this failure and proposed amendments to the Commission’s draft, with a view to ensuring that the rights and powers that Parliament had acquired through the Treaty of Lisbon would be respected.
I therefore voted in favour of this report, which approves the extension of the regulation in question and amends the elements required for respecting the new powers acquired by Parliament in the light of the Treaty of Lisbon, in particular guaranteeing new powers with regard to delegated acts."@en1
