lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I shall very briefly set out the Group of the European Liberal, Democrat and Reform Party’s points of view on agriculture in anticipation of the World Trade Organisation negotiations. The fact is that it is an increase in demand on the world market which is the most reliable guarantee of profitable European agriculture in the future. It is a much more reliable guarantee than stubborn persistence with our own protective system. Moreover, it is a liberalisation of world trade and improved competition which can lead to increased growth in the new industrialised countries and in populous developing countries. It is this which can mobilise the world’s huge need for food and convert it into a level of demand with great purchasing power. Naturally, we shall retain the European model. We shall take account, perhaps to a still greater extent, of the environment, public health, animal protection and multi-functionality – that is to say diversity – in the countryside and in agriculture. I think it is this and an open-minded attitude to the development of the information society which will be priorities in discussing the future shape of Europe. It is important, and a responsibility on our part, to pursue the questions of increased growth throughout the world in the World Trade Organisation negotiations. That is why I think that it is so important to say that demand is a more important consideration than the particular system we have here at home."@en1
