European common trade policy is an integral and important part of the Union’s general external action. It could play a very positive role in wealth-creation goals, and in economic and political relationships between the people and countries of Europe and Latin America. I have no doubt that closer integration of the economic spheres could be a win-win situation for both parties, notably in terms of creating more and better jobs. However, I know the effects that the bilateral trade agreements signed between the European Union and the countries of Latin America could have on the economies of the outermost regions.
In the region that I am from, Madeira, the consequences are particularly visible as regards banana production. I therefore argue that this productive sector and the other strategic and traditional sectors of the outermost regions should be preserved.
To this end, and in accordance with the commitment made by the European Union to them, the outermost regions must be compensated adequately, with particular attention paid to their vulnerable economies. There is provision in this report for such safeguards for these regions, so I voted for it."@en1
