lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, there is a word for this proposal to take away duty-free quota-free access to EU markets for a group of countries in the African, Caribbean and Pacific region. It is called blackmail. According to the NGO Comhlamh the loss of DFQF market access could effectively close the European market for some sectors and will be disastrous for the economies of the countries concerned. For Namibia, for example, the duties levied on beef exports alone would amount to almost EUR 60 million, around 30 % of their exports. I share the position of the rapporteur when he suggests that the main reason behind the Commission’s proposal is to increase pressure on these states to sign up to economic partnership agreements. Opposition to EPAs is growing in the region among trade unions, civil society organisations and now the Commission has responded by attempting to bully these countries into responding to these agreements which are not in the interests of working people and small farmers in their country. But that is why I do not share the rapporteur’s opinion that we should simply give them more time. The Commission’s proposal must be rejected."@en1
