I could not vote for this report because it is a step backwards in the EU’s policy on the accumulation of natural resources. It concerns legislation that favours importers of natural resources, who are calling for price certainty for imports of this raw material. The World Trade Organisation’s mandate requires an end to taxes on imports of raw materials and, since 2007, many producers have been affected by the quotas set by Russia. These interests of European producers clash with the political position of my parliamentary group, which calls on the EU to implement a proactive environmental policy that moves towards a reduction in imports of raw materials so that we can reduce the environmental footprint of our consumer system. That is why I did not vote for this report."@en1
