lpv:translated text	"Not only as a member of this House, but also as a citizen and consumer, I believe that it is extremely important for the agreements in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union and Brazil, and between the EU and Thailand, to be concluded so that the poultry sector in Europe is better protected. Following negotiations concluded in 2007 on poultry, under Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994, the EU witnessed a dramatic surge in processed poultry imports. Foreign exporters seemed to take advantage of a relative gap in the level of protection by reducing chicken meat/offal content in preparations to under 57 %, thus qualifying for a bordering tariff line. Consequently, there was a surge in prepared poultry meat imports that has negatively affected the European poultry industry. I therefore agree that it is necessary to bring up the level of protection in order to close the loophole and preclude circumvention."@en1
