"I voted against the granting of exceptional autonomous trade preferences for Pakistan because, in spite of substantial corrections introduced to the initial proposal of the Commission, which testifies to the added value of the intervention of Parliament in matters of international trade following the Treaty of Lisbon, the text on the compromise reached between Parliament and the Council, with the help of the Commission, maintains the two ‘original sins’ that caused me to vote against the report at first reading. It is inadmissible that trade preferences be instrumentalised under the pretext of humanitarian aid, for which the EU has appropriate financial tools available. Moreover, in spite of the initiative’s harmful effects, mainly in relation to the European textile and clothing sector, having been substantially reduced in the final version, it is still the most vulnerable countries, such as Portugal, which will pay the bill for the EU’s generosity towards Pakistan, which is not fair."@en1
