Willy Meyer (GUE/NGL), in writing. – (ES) With the accession of Bulgaria and Romania, the EU has enlarged its customs union. Consequently, the EU was obliged under World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) Article XXIV:6) to enter into negotiations with WTO Members having negotiating rights in the schedules of any of the acceding Members in order to agree on compensatory adjustment. I therefore voted in favour, so that this situation with Argentina can be regularised.
