"Mr President, Commissioner, this agreement contains a clause that does not convince us and has never convinced us. I am talking about the refund of customs duties that Korea will receive for imports of products from China or other countries. We have already discussed this, but as a liberal democrat I consider this measure to be deeply flawed. It is a kind of export subsidy, and I would like it if, when voting on this agreement, we had an assurance that this clause will not set a precedent and will not be included in any other future agreements. Tomorrow’s vote will conclude one leg of the journey we have undertaken together, but only one leg, because the relationship between Parliament and the Commission must continue, not least with regard to the actual implementation of the safeguard clause. For the sake of European industry and European workers, we cannot make any mistakes when implementing it, or else we will face great problems in future agreements. This is the Year of the Rabbit in the Far East, so I hope European industry will run like a rabbit, taking advantage of what this agreement can offer it."@en1
