"I believe that the European Union and all of us are making efforts to bring Europe out of recession. Some countries are emerging from the recession but, unfortunately, it is growing deeper in other countries for some reason. I believe that the restoration and consolidation of the European market feature among the priorities of all Member States. For this reason, I am deeply concerned by the European Union’s intention to provide Pakistan with a duty-free trade regime. I realise that Pakistan has suffered damage as a result of natural disasters, but I do not consider it proper justification for threatening European trade, especially in the textiles industry. I appeal to you on behalf of the Bulgarian Association of Apparel and Textile Producers and Exporters, whose members appealed to me with a request for assistance to save this sector in Bulgaria. Bulgaria is a small country and the recession is at its height there. Allowing Pakistan access to the European market will jeopardise Bulgaria’s textile and clothing production. Mr President and fellow Members, during a recession, in my view, protecting the European market must be twice as much a priority, whereas duty-free trade with Pakistan is not the path we need to be going down to emerge from the recession in Europe."@en1
