"The main objective of this report is to bring the aforementioned Council Regulation into line with Articles 290 and 291 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). The rapporteur has introduced some amendments which limit the powers of the Commission in relation to the delegation of powers, and advocate Parliament’s greater involvement in the preparation and implementation of delegated acts. We welcome the provision which ensures that Parliament has a longer period of time to object to a delegated act.
However, this report must still be examined for its deeper meaning, taking into account positions of principle in terms of the TFEU and its provisions on trade policy. Indeed, the Treaty of Lisbon stipulates that trade policy is the exclusive remit of the EU. In other words, the Member States have been denied an essential economic policy instrument. Trade interests are obviously different from country to country, as their respective economies, weaknesses and strengths are different. The overlap between the interests of the strongest and the weakest, in this and other areas, is extremely detrimental to weaker economies, such as that of Portugal. The effects of policies of free trade can be seen in the disruption of major national sectors of production."@en1
