European Parliament
Sylvie Guillaume  (S&D ),
in writing.
(FR)
I voted in favour of this report, which calls on the European Union to proactively support through trade the democratic transitions occurring in North Africa. This report particularly emphasises the need to carry forward existing trade agreements and develop these further using a dynamic approach, adapted to suit the characteristics of each country. Finally, this is an opportunity for us to give greater focus to EU programmes, by supporting organic farming and Fair Trade, by regulating the arms trade, by providing general technical support and by supporting small and medium-sized enterprises.
