"I welcomed this document because the Commission is urged to present a forward-looking and innovative future strategy on trade and investment, taking into account the new challenges of the EU, and also to deliver forecasts of how the ‘world of trade’ could look in a policy planning perspective of 15 to 20 years, and to take such forecasts as the basis for presenting a revised mid- and long-term strategy by the summer of 2013. The EU must also take account of the fact that population growth is declining steeply inside the EU, at the same time as the population of developing countries, in particular, is continuing to increase dramatically. This will have an impact on countries’ economic situations. If we consider that 18% of jobs inside the EU, in other words, 36 million jobs, are presently dependent on external trade, and 90% of worldwide economic growth will probably be generated outside the European Union by 2015, we see how important it is to formulate and implement a long-term external trade strategy which reflects the EU’s changing role in the world economy. Therefore, taking into account these developments, I welcomed the resolution’s call on the Commission to draw up a forward-looking study which takes into account the current realities of the global economy and the current situation of the EU in addition to probable future developments. This should provide a basis on which the Commission can draw up a long-term strategy which fully addresses the needs of the EU and its citizens."@en1
