"I supported the Caspary report on a new trade policy for Europe. The future of the European Union’s trade policy will be played out on several levels. It goes without saying that every effort must be made to bring the ongoing negotiations at the WTO to a successful conclusion.
At the same time, the European Union must continue to conclude bilateral free trade agreements. Our trade partners are also our competitors, however, and that is why these discussions must be embarked on without naivety. I am therefore delighted to see that this report advocates reciprocity and mutual benefit in our agreements with our trade partners.
The removal of non-tariff barriers must also be one of our objectives, as they have often hindered trade: more regulatory convergence with our partners and more tangible results from the high-level structured dialogues with China, Japan and the United States. These are the directions to be followed. Reciprocity also concerns the international public procurement markets: the aim is not to close our markets and give in to protectionism; rather, the degree of opening up of public procurement markets in Europe should be compensated by the same degree of access to third-country public procurement markets for EU suppliers."@en1
