"Mr President, I voted in favour of this resolution because I think it is a positive first step towards bringing order to EU-China relations, which are clearly imbalanced. The EU is founded on certain fundamental values. For example, we rightly ask our businesses to respect the environment; we give importance to workers’ rights, first and foremost, women’s rights; we do not make children work; and we do not have concentration camps with free labour. In China, however, all this protection and these rights do not exist. Far from it! There are still barriers to European goods accessing the Chinese market, and goods are clearly produced there at a lower cost, resulting in unfair competition with European companies and goods. We must establish true reciprocity in relations with countries outside the EU so that, where there are causes for imbalance, they are offset by financial and trade provisions that safeguard our businesses and our goods."@en1
