"In October 2011, the European Parliament was asked to approve a Council proposal to adopt, on behalf of the EU, the amended constitution and amended rules of procedure of the International Rubber Study Group (IRSG). The IRSG is an international organisation which has been based in Singapore since 2008. The group is a platform enabling discussion between countries which produce and consume rubber, and on all aspects of the rubber supply chain. Governments of individual states may become IRSG members. At present, the contributing members include the EU and nine countries: Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, India, Japan, Malaysia, Nigeria, the Russian Federation, Singapore and Sri Lanka. Almost 120 representatives of this sector have membership through the panel of affiliated members. The aim of the group is to collect and mediate comprehensive statistical information on the global rubber sector. It is generally considered that this activity is of fundamental importance in terms of increasing the transparency of the rubber market and market trends in this sector. In my opinion, it is right to try and take the necessary steps to expand the basic membership group, first and foremost, by negotiating with the states that are the largest producers and consumers of rubber. A strong membership basis is also a basic precondition for the long-term viability and effective functioning of the IRSG as an authoritative body."@en1
