"The world is changing dramatically and, with it, the distribution of power in international trade. While the EU accounted for 25% of global GDP in 2000, it will have a share of just 18% by 2020. In contrast to that, China and India, the most populous countries on earth, continue to grow, both in terms of GDP and in terms of population. In order for the EU to remain a global player in the future, and to participate in setting the rules, it is essential to respond to these changes and draw up a long-term European trade policy strategy.
The report on a new trade policy for Europe under the Europe 2020 strategy takes a critical view of the communication from the Commission of November 2010. I agree with the rapporteur that this communication is more a collection of instructions than a comprehensive EU strategy for a trade policy capable of confronting the challenges of a changing global economy. The European Parliament adopted the ‘Global Europe’ strategy. The aims of the strategy have not been achieved to this day. I welcome the rapporteur’s challenge to the Commission and the Member States, and I would like to add my voice to it. We must do a study and find out why many of the aims were not achieved, and draw the conclusions from this. We approve many opinions, declarations and instructions without retrospectively addressing the issue of whether they are functional and effective. In the field of international trade, however, this is essential. I fully endorse the report submitted by Mr Caspary."@en1
