"I voted in favour of this important report, which was already discussed in connection with Russia joining the WTO. The agreement that has now been reached will reduce Russia’s export duties, especially for wood products. This is a significant step forward, because Russia has applied wood duties since 2007.
Thanks to the Treaty of Lisbon, consultation of Parliament in matters relating to international trade is an established principle that works well. The activities of the EU in the field of international trade are no laughing matter. The European Union is the world’s biggest trader. It has a 20 % share of global imports and exports.
The EU is undeniably the world’s biggest economic area. This is why it is important that the EU holds onto its own values and the rules that unite the Member States when it conducts trade with third countries. The EU is primarily a community of values that endeavours to preserve the competitiveness of Europe and to establish internationally agreed trade rules."@en1
