"I voted in favour of this report because I agree that the European Union should continue to participate in the International Rubber Study Group (IRSG). Recently, there have been serious doubts over the future of the IRSG because important countries like the US, Thailand and Malaysia have pulled out of the group. However, the International Rubber Study Group is an intergovernmental organisation whose principal function is to be a forum for discussion for all countries involved in the production, supply and consumption of rubber. Today, it is the only inclusive platform grouping both rubber producing and consuming countries, and, in spite of the organisation’s shortcomings, it still is the most appropriate body to work on increasing transparency, and one of the organisation’s most important objectives is to ensure fair, predictable and affordable access to rubber on the global market. The European Union is the world’s second biggest consumer of natural rubber and the organisation’s members also include Russia and Japan."@en1
