"The surge in prepared poultry meat imports from 2007 was due to the fact that 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 %, which negatively affected the European poultry industry. Given this negative effect on the European poultry industry, the Commission was authorised by the Council to negotiate a new agreement, in order to protect the poultry industry in the single market, with Brazil and Thailand, which are the main exporters to be affected by the modification of concessions. The agreement signed between the EU and those countries stipulates that the EU must offset the increase of the bound duty by opening tariff-rate quotas and allocating substantial shares of these to Brazil and Thailand. I voted in favour of the recommendation by Vital Moreira given that the compensatory adjustment satisfies all the parties involved and offsets the increase of the bound duty."@en1
