"In 1968, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development recommended the creation of a Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) under which industrialised countries would grant trade preferences to all developing countries on a non-reciprocal basis. The European Community was the first to implement a GSP scheme and since its creation the GSP has been one of the key EU trade and development policy instruments to assist developing countries reduce poverty by generating revenue through international trade. Although the system is the most used of the industrialised countries’ systems, I agree that we need to review the regulation in question so as to simplify the application of the scheme.
Additionally, I think that the general review should be dealt with in the proposal for a new regulation, which I hope will be tabled without delay. The new proposal must aim at making the GSP a clearer and more transparent system. I should also like to call on the Commission to look at the possibility of checking that the commitments have been fulfilled by periodically carrying out investigations that would also involve Parliament and representatives of civil society in the country in question."@en1
