lpv:translated text	"Mr President, a few weeks ago, I argued here that we Europeans should adopt a firm, credible and coherent position in order to give a social dimension to the liberalisation of trade. And I am delighted at the convergence of views between the Commission, the Council and Parliament on this matter. This convergence is based on respect for the Declaration on Workers’ Fundamental Rights adopted by the International Labour Organisation in 1988. This declaration takes into account both the interests of developing countries, and that is moreover why they, including China, adopted it, as well as the interests of workers, and that is why trade unions also accepted it. We must now make this declaration truly effective, by guaranteeing respect for it, and that means in the corridors of the World Trade Organisation, too. Minister, Commissioner, I do not think that achieving meaningful cooperation between the WTO and the ILO, by whatever means, is an impossible task. All the more reason to try to succeed."@en1
