"Switzerland is the EU’s fourth largest trade partner. In 2010, the EU exported agricultural products to the value of EUR 6.3 billion to Switzerland, making the country the third largest export market for EU agricultural products. Therefore, it is crucial that the European Union continues to cooperate with the Swiss authorities to improve bilateral trade relations. The agricultural agreement was concluded in 1999 and has been in force since 1 June 2002. However, it has only led to the partial liberalisation of some agricultural sectors and not to genuine free trade in agricultural products. Therefore, by adding a new annex, the EU and the Swiss Confederation are aiming for reciprocal recognition of protected designations of origin and geographical indications, so as to improve conditions for bilateral trade in agricultural products, whilst promoting the quality of the food chain at the same time. EU exporters of key agricultural produce, such as meat and dairy products, to one of our closest and largest export markets, will enjoy greater protection from designations of origin and geographical indications. I voted in favour of the agreement for the above reasons."@en1
