"The accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union has meant the enlargement of the customs union between the Member States, making it necessary to negotiate compensatory adjustments with any World Trade Organisation members that had rights over the acceding countries. Such adjustment is proper if the adoption of the EU’s external tariff regime results in a reduction of benefits for the third countries. That was the case with Argentina, which, as the rapporteur advocates, should now be compensated for this loss, because, as stated in Article XXIV:4 of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the purpose of a customs union or of a free-trade area should be to facilitate trade between the constituent territories and not to raise barriers to the trade of other contracting parties with such territories."@en1
