"Adoption of this report is necessary for the entry into force of the regional convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean rules of origin. The convention includes rules which, in future, will govern the matter of the preferential origin of goods produced in those countries that are signatory to the convention, namely, EU countries, EFTA countries, North African countries, Eastern European and Balkan countries that participate in the Stabilisation and Association Process. A convention such as this, which includes rules that are potentially harmful or misleading as far as our quality goods are concerned, does not offer any specific advantages for our production system, whilst clearly favouring North African countries. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the rules will be correctly applied in southern Mediterranean countries, and no sufficient guarantees on administrative cooperation and the correct issuance of certificates of origin in those countries have been provided. Furthermore, the convention does not provide for any dispute settlement mechanisms or any revision or review clauses for the agreed text. I therefore voted against."@en1
