"I voted in favour because the EU should actively defend its industries, whenever necessary, against violations of agreed rules and WTO standards and principles by its trading partners using all available means, including multilateral and bilateral dispute settlement mechanisms and WTO-compatible trade defence instruments. Removing or reducing unjustified non-tariff barriers (NTBs) and other regulatory obstacles applied by the EU’s key strategic partner countries by means of regulatory dialogue should be one of the key regulatory priorities of the new EU trade policy under the Europe 2020 strategy. I believe that any barriers resulting from the incoherent implementation of bilateral and multilateral trade rules are unjustified. Regulatory dialogue should respect the right of all states to strengthen human rights, environmental rules, social rules and public health. The Commission should draw a clear distinction between those NTBs which give rise to unfair distortions of competition and those which reflect legitimate public policy aims, notably in relation to public health and the protection of the environment. Insistence on reciprocity of market access for industrialised and emerging countries should be an integral part of EU trade strategy, on a par with the removal or lowering of NTBs."@en1
