"The regulation currently in force for generalised tariff preferences that enable free trade or lower duties in the trade of products between Member States and third countries, a regulation which is generally used to encourage trade with poor and/or developing countries, needs to be changed and put back into place, given its forthcoming expiry. I voted in favour of the report on the proposal for a new regulation on this subject because I agree with the objectives of the changes it aims to bring in. The amendment aims to create an effective system that is more sensitive to the interests of the beneficiary countries and economic operators, to develop more comprehensive rules and to guarantee Parliament’s role as the body of democratic control. I hope that this is the first step towards a solution to be identified at a global level for a general agreement on trade. After the failure of the Doha negotiations, these measures can only really be provisional, ahead of a more long-term solution."@en1
