lpv:translated text	"Mr President, in Doha the EU must show its hand. On which side does the EU really stand in the global North-South conflict? Things are looking quite bad. In spite of the stream of protests from, for example, India and Malaysia, the least developed countries, the G77 group, China and a host of environmental and solidarity movements, the EU intends, together with the United States, to try to play its trump card by making the WTO’s free trade doctrine apply not only to traditional trade but to practically the whole of economic life. According to what Commissioner Lamy said in a statement earlier today, the EU’s main objective is to open the markets of the developing countries to EU companies. When it comes to TRIPS and GATS, too, it is obvious that the EU is on a collision course with the developing countries. In this global struggle, which is more crucial than the fight against terrorism, a number of ‘progressive’ people have believed that the EU could constitute a tool actually to combat neo-liberal globalisation. If the EU does not change its tactics, there is everything to indicate, however, that, when it comes to the crunch, the WTO meeting in Doha will be proof that all the fine declarations of solidarity are being abandoned. It is then that a ‘policy of naked interest’ appears, that is to say, a policy that places the EU alongside the United States and against the majority of the world’s poorer countries."@en1
