lpv:translated text	"Here, I intend to state the reasons for my vote against the joint motion for a resolution which has just been voted on. Contrary to the requests of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development, which had been instructed to draw up an opinion for the Committee on International Trade, which is the competent committee in this area, on 26 January, Parliament’s Committee on International Trade approved the conclusion of the trade liberalisation agreement between the EU and Morocco. Within a context that is already particularly difficult in economic and social terms for the European agricultural sector, a liberalisation agreement conceived in this way would have a catastrophic impact on European farmers, in particular, in the sensitive fruit and vegetable sector, with dramatic repercussions on employment in the rural areas of the European Union. Were this agreement to be concluded, there would be a considerable increase in products originating from Morocco, with the introduction of import quotas much higher than under the previous agreement, specifically for six products: tomatoes, courgettes, cucumbers, garlic, citrus fruits and strawberries. It is also necessary to take account of the different production standards in environmental and plant health terms and the quality of products originating from Morocco, and that the European system of entry prices for these imports does not take account of production and labour costs within the EU. For these reasons, I voted against the motion."@en1
