lpv:translated text	"I welcomed this document because textiles are not included in the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement and this area is regulated by bilateral agreements which expired in 2005, giving rise to legal uncertainty for Union exporters since Uzbekistan (which is not a member of the WTO) may at any time increase import tariffs, while the Union’s most-favoured-nation treatment (in the area of customs tariffs) applies to the entire world. This protocol sets out to include textiles in the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement, whereby the two parties grant each other most-favoured-nation status, thus putting an end to the legal uncertainty for exporters. On the basis of the principles and goals of the Union’s external actions, the Union, as one of the main trading partners and largest importer of cotton from Uzbekistan, has, I believe, a moral obligation to use its leverage to stop forced child labour in this country. For this reason, the protocol cannot therefore be regarded solely as a technical agreement while human rights issues still exist."@en1
