"If the pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin are now to be changed, care should be taken to ensure that regional conventions do not lead to a less favourable situation than the one that existed under the previous free trade agreements. This is the only way that the system can represent a positive extension of the previous system of pan-Euro-Mediterranean cumulation of origin. After all, this strategy is intended to promote the free movement of goods between the EU and the partner countries. In principle, the ban on duty drawback on diagonal trade must be upheld in the pan-Euro-Mediterranean area, something that is not without its problems in the case of the Palestinian Authority for the West Bank and Gaza Strip. There are frequent disputes in this region relating to the actual country of origin of goods. As the agreement is currently undergoing an overhaul, it would be a positive thing if the EU were to pay closer attention to this problem and sought to add new provisions in relation to the pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin that would efficiently prevent abuses, so that this provision does not run contrary to the EU’s support for the Gaza strip. For this reason, I also voted against this report."@en1
