"Madam President, can I also add my congratulations to Mr Scholz for his work on this dossier. We supported his amendments in committee, but think it was right not to bring them back in plenary in order not to delay this process. The EU, as we have heard, is Ecuador’s most important trade partner for non-oil exports. Any temporary and unnecessary disruption in trade would have had a severe impact on Ecuador’s economy, and would most likely result in exporters looking for alternative markets with easier access than the European Union. Instead, with this bridging solution, we can continue to encourage and support trade between the EU and Ecuador in order to ensure that both parties are able to benefit from the future free trade agreement.
I welcome the fact that this agreement includes reciprocity, that the EU traders will get the same benefits they get now, as will Ecuadorian traders. I welcome the fact that the rules of origin will continue to apply, and I welcome the fact that there are safeguards in this agreement for European producers. This is a good deal for both parties. Again, I would like to thank both the Commission and the rapporteur for their work."@en1
