lpv:translated text	"While welcoming this initiative and this report, I would also like to make a few comments, which, in my opinion, are important. Tendencies of recent years give us grave concern and do not bode well for the future. The trade deficit has been growing at a catastrophic rate, as has the assortment of goods from China, not to mention the transfer of manufacturing and the closure of companies in the European Union itself. And international companies play a large part in this. If we fail to establish the right mechanisms to control these processes, the consequences will be tragic. Companies in all European Union states, including Lithuania, suffer from unfair competition from Chinese companies. Our business communities are forced to adhere to high EU labour, social insurance and environmental standards, and must compete with Chinese manufacturers, who do none of this. On the contrary, in fact – workers toil under horrendous conditions and are practically unpaid. The European Union must ensure that compulsory adherence to labour, work safety, social insurance and environmental standards is set forth in international treaties. In addition intellectual property protection regulations and the certification of quality and origin must be tightened and the procedure for bringing anti-dumping cases to court must be simplified. The European Commission must ensure that companies are only allowed to import goods into the EU when the European Commission confirms the companies' adherence to such standards. In fact, this is exactly what Russia does when allowing goods from the European Union to be imported into its territory."@en1
