"I voted resolutely against the agreement between the EU and Morocco on the reciprocal liberalisation of agricultural and fishery products. Unfortunately, the agreement adopted today will be a disaster not only for Sicilian agriculture but also for European agriculture in general, for which much has been done and continues to be done in relation to quality protection, guarantees for consumers and support for agricultural producers so that they are increasingly competitive on the market. All of this has been cast aside today with a vote in favour of opening European borders to an economy, the Moroccan economy, which is not required to respect the same rules on trade and consumer health protection that, by contrast, operators in the European agricultural and fishery sector must respect. The agricultural sector is encountering numerous difficulties in many parts of the Union and I do not believe that we have achieved a result today which is endorsed by our farmers, to whom I personally, along with those who are against this agreement, can only reiterate my commitment to ensure that controls on goods imported from Morocco are strict and to provide guarantees to them and to European consumers as quickly as possible."@en1
