"Presented after the unprecedented floods that devastated a vast portion of Pakistan’s territory, the Commission’s proposal seeks to extend autonomous trade preferences to this country concerning 75 product lines of interest to Pakistan (mostly textile and clothing) in the form of exemption from custom duties, with the exception of one product (ethanol) for which a tariff rate quota would apply. The proposed measures should be welcomed as a perfect example of the synergies that the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon has made possible. While the EU and its Member States have already provided Pakistan with humanitarian aid, the extension of trade preferences to this country is part of a larger package of measures that would address the medium and long-term economic consequences of the catastrophic floods. Ensuring Pakistan’s recovery and future sustainable development is extremely important, not only for its citizens, but also for the security and the stability of the region. A stable and prosperous Pakistan that does not drift away into extremism or fundamentalism is obviously in the EU’s interest."@en1
