"There can be no development without economic growth. Yet as I have said before, in the absence of an impartial state, economic growth is no guarantee of development. EU trade policy has an essential part to play in combating poverty and achieving the Millenium Development Goals. The EU’s Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) is one of the tools that enables developing countries to compete on the international markets by offering either reduced customs duties or zero-rate access to the EU market for their exports. The GSP also releases countries from dependency on aid. We have approved the extension of the current regulation while we await the new draft regulation that has been requested in order to guarantee legal certainty. However, the European Parliament’s new powers in the field of trade following the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon must be taken into account. Under the Treaty, measures in the GSP Regulation are considered to be delegated acts, which means that the European Parliament will have greater supervisory powers in future."@en1
