lpv:translated text	"The United States and Canada are important trading partners of the EU. Nevertheless, there are definitely some products from these countries that violate European health directives and, consequently, are not imported into the EU. This includes beef that has been treated with growth-promoting hormones. In order to protect consumers, the EU banned the import of this meat, whereupon Canada and the United States imposed trade sanctions on agricultural products imported from the EU. This conflict caused a reduction in trade. Following lengthy negotiations, the sanctions imposed by the US and Canada were gradually lifted and a zero-duty tariff quota for high-quality beef not treated with hormones was introduced. The tariff quota is now to be increased, as a result of which Canada and the US have, in return, suspended their retaliatory sanctions. I abstained from the vote, as it is not clear from the report whether a further increase in the tariff quota could not be detrimental to the European meat industry."@en1
