lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the previous speaker finished by saying that nature and human beings are being exploited. I can agree with him. The new millennium simply represents the free trade ideology. We have experience of the free trade in capital. It is called globalisation. It is electronic capitalism. In fact, it is not free trade, as the IMF has given American investors guarantees regarding the risks they take, and paid them damages that have been incurred by the free trade in capital. There are no rules in the capital game and politicians can no longer become referees. However, it is now possible to negotiate rules for the trade in goods and services, and it is possible to act in such a way that capital freedoms do not spread their exploitative power on such a broad global scale as electronic capitalism. I defend green protectionism because I want us to eat healthy food and I want it to be produced in a sustainable way. That cannot be called protectionism, as it is a question of survival. I also defend red protectionism, which tries to safeguard workers’ rights and prevent malpractice, such as the use of child labour. In this respect also this type of protectionism is, from the point of view of social security, a question of survival."@en1
