".
The scheme of generalised tariff preferences (GSP) must be understood both as an instrument of trade policy and as an instrument supporting development, since international trade is undoubtedly one of the most powerful drivers of development and growth in any economy.
In that context, and as the rapporteur explicitly mentions in his explanatory statement, ‘the GSP therefore needs to be consistent with development policy objectives and compatible with the Doha Programme’.
The Doha Round is, indeed, an important ongoing step towards a more open and fairer world economy and, as the rapporteur proposes, that understanding must be present in the GSP.
Lastly, I consider that the speed with which the GSP was amended to respond to the effects of the tsunami should be applauded."@en1
