"This report, like others on international trade, is primarily aimed at aligning legislation in this area with the changes made by the Treaty of Lisbon, which have an impact in this area. 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, we must review this report to determine its deeper meaning, taking into account positions of principle in terms of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) and its provisions on trade policy. Indeed, the Treaty of Lisbon stipulates that trade policy is the exclusive remit of the EU. 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, as in the case of Portugal, which is in the hands of the trade interests of the big business of the EU’s major powers, in particular Germany, which is often opposed to the interests of national production."@en1
