"I voted against the European Parliament resolution on agriculture and international trade because I believe that it entirely subordinates the Union’s trade policy to agricultural policy, when it is well known that only trade policy can guarantee our industry, our services and even our agriculture access to external markets; this access is crucial to economic growth and job creation in the Union. If, in the future, we continue with the political orientation running through this resolution, it will become practically impossible to conclude trade agreements with countries or regions with significant agricultural sectors, such as Brazil or India, for example. Common trade policy – which affects the entire Union and all the Member States – cannot be completely at the mercy of the interests of the agricultural sector, which, in fact, affects a limited number of Member States. I also find it regrettable that this resolution includes accusations against Brazil that are completely unfounded, as has been amply demonstrated from the Brazilian side."@en1
