lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Commissioner, I would like to confine myself to a small number of questions. How honest are we, in fact, when we claim that we mainly fight poverty in the least developed countries? Our fellow MEPs have illustrated this amply. Furthermore, we find that our aid does not even reach the poorest in the poor countries – and surely that is what all this is about – for they remain in poverty. How coherent is our own policy? How honest are we when we claim that we are quite willing to import everything, except weapons, from the poor countries? Is this not, in the first instance, an act of goodwill to include the southern countries in a new WTO round? I wonder about that, for I note that we remain caught up in our own incoherence. I would like to quote the delay of imports of sugar as a case in point: that is nothing but a disgrace! Must we really continue to support our own sugar production? Surely there is no reason for doing that!"@en1
