"Following on from the existing partnership and cooperation agreement with Russia, an Agreement on trade in certain steel products from the Russian Federation was concluded in October 2011. This established quotas for imports of steel into the EU. With Russia’s accession to the World Trade Organisation, the EU no longer had the right to apply these quotas, as the multilateral trade regulations, which govern aspects such as tariffs, applicable trade defence measures, technical standards, specific customs/clearance procedures, and so on, naturally apply. In order to comply with the WTO rules, the EU therefore intends to repeal the EU-Russia Steel Agreement. In this case, I do not consider the WTO rules to be sensible. On account of the expected impact on the European steel industry – for the protection of which, the EU has not put in place any appropriate measures – I have voted against this report as an act of protest."@en1
