lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report because it calls on the Commission to put forward a genuine, long-term strategy for EU trade policy without delay. In particular, I support the idea that free trade agreements are important tools for this new strategy. Why? The multilateral negotiations are deadlocked, and we cannot expect convincing results; however, the agreements can also convey the values of the Union by including basic social and environmental standards. In addition, I also support the idea that Parliament is committed to tackling poverty outside the EU. Of course, trade cannot be the only remedy. When combined with other EU policies, however, tools such as the generalised system of preferences and the economic partnership agreements bring genuine added value to development policy. One final point strikes me as crucial: the EU, which is the most open market in the world, is having difficulty obtaining reciprocity from its trading partners. The idea of ‘positive reciprocity’ taken up in this report should, in time, help our businesses gain access to foreign markets."@en1
