"This motion for a resolution, tabled pursuant to Rule 115(5) of the Rules of Procedure, follows on from an oral question submitted by Mr Menéndez del Valle and Mr Moreira, on behalf of the Committee on International Trade, on the proposal for a Council decision on the conclusion of the regional convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin. The European Union has always sought to encourage trade integration on the southern shore of the Mediterranean, since international trade could foster economic growth and reduce poverty. Following the so-called ‘Arab Spring’, this integration is even more important and is an essential factor in consolidating the emerging democracies in these countries. It will also enable a series of around 100 trade agreements to be brought together and will facilitate North-South trade. It will also prevent imports originating from the Israeli settlements occupying Palestinian territory, which cannot benefit from preferential rules. I voted for this proposal because, as the Commissioner said, in addition to constituting the first response to the Arab Spring, this convention will enable the integration of the pan-Mediterranean area with EU trade."@en1
