SOUNDBITE (English), Bernd LANGE (S&amp;D, DE), INTA Committee Chair, explains that last Thursday he received a letter from Commissioner Moscovici, containing an exchange  between DG TAXUD and the Moroccan Ambassador explaining the improvement of the traceability of the products coming from Western Sahara, a mechanism that INTA requested.

<p>SOUNDBITE (English), Bernd LANGE (S&amp;D, DE), INTA Committee Chair, (...) he completes by saying that those exchanges were considered enough (for INTA coordinators) so so the two points (vote on accompanying report and vote on the consent) were added to the agenda.</p>
