"Madam President, I am more concerned about those who cannot afford to buy any clothes than I am about Europe’s textile industry, and in view of the fact that these countries only account for 4% of our imports, I think the most generous conditions possible should apply. I am therefore concerned that we are removing the vulnerability criteria that we had before. If a country does not have a diversified industry, ensuring that it can export its products here without any tariffs is probably a good way to try to help it to establish one.
I am also concerned that we are creating artificial borders within regional free trade areas or cooperation areas where the majority of the countries are poor. We ought also to be able to continue to treat these countries as GSP+ countries. I do not believe that this agreement will help these countries sufficiently, and it is detrimental to move ahead too quickly in decisions at first reading. Many of these countries have not had time to make their voices heard in a positive way, and many that are affected by this have not been able to make their voices heard. We make too many decisions at first reading, and this is yet another example of this."@en1
