"Mr President, I welcome both the Commission's intention to reform the generalised system of preferences and the resolution that we have just adopted. It is very important that the system be simplified and made more accessible for developing countries, particularly the least developed countries. In addition, it is very important that we maintain within the system the special incentive arrangements for the protection of labour rights – which are hardly used at the moment – and the special rights for the environment – which are also under–used. Any reform must encourage the further and greater use of those rights.
There is also a special arrangement under the current GSP called 'GSP–plus'. This is for countries tackling drug abuse and drug trafficking. Again, it is important that this be protected in any reform of the GSP.
To conclude, if these areas are safeguarded, it is encouraging that the Commission has decided to modernise the GSP."@en1
