lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the vote on opening up the tariff quota for imports of high-quality beef marks an important moment in good transatlantic relations. What is more, thanks to the Treaty of Lisbon, Parliament is, for the first time, playing a fundamental role in approving this sort of decision. This fact increases the United States’ interest in and understanding of Parliament, as we saw first-hand during the meetings held with the US Congress by a delegation from our Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development (AGRI) last June. This agreement puts an end to a long-held, age-old dispute, thereby enabling the sanctions imposed by the US to be lifted, while also maintaining the ban on imports of meat treated with hormones so as to guarantee our own high standards on food quality and safety. For these reasons, the AGRI Committee – which I am honoured to chair – gave staunch support for the conclusion of this agreement and did not present any amendments, in the spirit of deepening transatlantic trade relations and improving dispute resolution within the framework of the World Trade Organisation. My heartfelt thanks to Ms Quisthoudt-Rowohl and to the rapporteur for our committee, Mr Lyon."@en1
