"In the wake of the floods that devastated Pakistan in 2010, the Council called for emergency measures to support the country. I tabled an amendment rejecting the regulation proposed by the Commission, as trade preferences of this nature are a good idea in theory but not in practice. Our response to a humanitarian crisis cannot be based on trade, especially considering that it is now one year on from the disaster and the urgency is not as strong. This type of support is illogical and prejudicial, as some people in Europe, in particular those working in the textiles industry in several of the southern countries, will end up paying for support for Pakistan that we should all be paying for collectively. Furthermore, by only targeting certain industries, we are not helping all Pakistanis."@en1
