"Let us continue with rice. EBA: Everything but Arms. If the 40 poorest countries are so poor and are dying of hunger, why do they have to send us rice? Let them eat it and then they will not be hungry! But my question is this: how can the Commissioner and the European Commission prevent Vietnam, for example, which falls within the Everything but Arms countries, from introducing its rice via its borders with Thailand and then Thailand from introducing it into the European Union? How can we guarantee that? How can it be controlled? Will we put a label on every grain of rice? How can we prevent the 40 poorest countries in the world, by means of multinationals we all know, which import rice, some of them here, from introducing these products via the poorest countries and wrecking our markets?"@en1
