"I abstained from voting on introducing emergency autonomous trade preferences for Pakistan. Although the autonomous trade preferences would be extended to Pakistan for three years, a full impact assessment of the proposed measures has not been carried out by the Commission prior to the adoption of the proposal for a regulation. In addition, it should be noted that the Commission’s proposal does not impose any burden on Pakistan in the field of human and social rights. Furthermore, it cannot be excluded that the decision to grant autonomous trade preferences for flood stricken Pakistan may be followed by other similar initiatives in the future. Thus, there is a risk that adopting autonomous trade preferences decoupled from any kind of human rights conditionality would, in fact, undermine the current system of EU preferences based on respecting a set of fundamental rights and values."@en1
