"Mr President, given the difficult history of transatlantic trade relations in animal products that was started by the dispute on beef hormones and chlorine-dipped chicken, the adoption of the regulation put forward today in this report is important and my ECR Group voted in favour. We believe that the regulation reinforces the vital trade links that are already in existence across the Atlantic and will also improve access to the market on both sides, leading to more confidence.
Though the products initially affected by the ban on hormone-treated beef were few and accounted for a small volume of trade, those products affected by the subsequent retaliatory EU sanctions were far more numerous, and we hope that these sanctions will steadily be lifted and trade barriers broken down as a result of ongoing negotiations.
The regulation proposed therefore will, we believe, strengthen the long-standing transatlantic economic relationship in terms of trade, and bring economic benefits to both sides. USA-EU political and trade relations must be our number one priority, due to our shared common democratic values."@en1
