"The EU agricultural sector has a significant added value for the European economy and plays a strategic role in tackling the economic, social and environmental challenges that the EU is facing. Therefore, external trade policy and agreements with foreign importers must not jeopardise the EU’s ability to maintain a strong and vibrant sector. The Commission must assume a clear position in the World Trade Organisation and carry out specific impact assessments, negotiating with other parties as regards the importation of certain products to the EU market. We must ensure respect for the principle that third-country production methods for export to the EU must provide European consumers with the same guarantees in terms of health, food safety, animal welfare, sustainable development and minimum social standards as those required of EU producers. This is the only way to ensure that EU producers can compete on a level playing field with third countries, and that our farmers’ interests are protected."@en1
