"This recommendation, drafted by Mr Menéndez del Valle, concerns the regional convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin. This is a convention that will not only facilitate pan-Euro-Mediterranean trade rules, but will also be a catalyst for the creation of a common market between the Member States of the European Union and the countries of the southern Mediterranean. The EU 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 illegally 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
