"Mme President, Commissioner, Colleagues, We are discussing an extremely important report today. The effective trade policy is an instrument for achieving regional or broader integration.
Imports and exports, against the backdrop of reliable rules and procedures, enable us to protect the European internal economic space. The spirit of the report is objective and critical, yet constructive. It focuses on several theses, i.e. the bilateral, regional and multilateral mutual benefit, the common regional prospects, the enhanced competitiveness of the European Union through market-based instruments to prevent the ousting of European products from the market.
Trade determines a large portion of the economic growth of some countries. In this sense, import and export rules are of paramount importance. Their implementation and control are of special significance, particularly for some new Member States like Bulgaria, where higher export levels determine the existence of trade deficit.
In this case, the access to third markets becomes crucial. The difficult entry of goods from the new countries into external markets, even when these products fully meet all requirements, generates conditions for unequal treatment. Therefore what we need is full consistency of the legislation and its implementing regulations.
The work of the national customs authorities is essential for the proper functioning of an efficient trade system, especially in the context of their enhanced mission to combat forgeries and fraud, and to protect intellectual property rights and consumers.
National costoms authorities need to collaborate in a well organised manner. It is equally important to undertake measures for proper motivation of customs authorities within the framework of the administraive solutions of each Member State, as well as for protection and support of the mission of customs authorities.
It is possible to consider the establishment of specialised centres in countries of key importance for the trade with third countries or regions respectively. This would be useful with a view to promoting the effective trade policy of the European Union."@en1
