"I approve the report on amending Council Regulation (EC) No 617/2009 opening an autonomous tariff quota for imports of high-quality beef from North America. The political value of this measure is of primary importance. It not only puts an end to a tariff war which began with the mad cow scare in the 1990s; it also makes an important contribution to the integration of transatlantic markets, maintaining the EU’s commitment to a rigorous consumer protection and food safety policy.
The expected benefits of the measure reach beyond the calculations presented in the report, due to the well-known interdependence of the markets and market sectors, exceeding the impact of the quota on the specific sector several times over. Furthermore, it is important not to underestimate the significance of the measure as a sign of the effectiveness and dynamism of the institutions, including by putting in place concrete measures to tackle recurring isolationist and insular pressures which, as the crisis continues, may sometimes seem to be attractive placebo solutions for economies and societies riven by tensions and widespread difficulties."@en1
