"Mr President, the Commission report on trade and investment barriers shows that, by 2015, 90% of world growth will be generated outside Europe. EU competitiveness and the industrial policy depend on the availability of raw materials and rare earths. The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative ought to be an effective tool for ensuring transparency and combating speculation on commodity markets.
I would stress the importance of the EU’s trade relations with the Mercosur region and India. Although EU investment in India has increased more than fourfold since 2003, India’s investment policy continues to obstruct foreign investment. Although Brazil and Argentina are important trading partners for the EU, they regularly adopt tariff and non-tariff measures that disadvantage European companies, even though they are both involved in negotiating a free trade agreement with the EU.
A further concern for European companies is the existence of restrictions in the area of maritime transport."@en1
