"Mr President, our group, the Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left supports the two proposals presented without question, both for the People’s Republic of China and for the customs territory of Taipei, and agrees with all the arguments and pertinent issues put forward by Mr Gahrton, who has a profound knowledge of this issue. For this reason, we think it is of fundamental importance that the European Union should take an extremely responsible attitude when facing this momentous challenge for the world.
The People’s Republic of China’s accession to the World Trade Organisation will have repercussions in China itself, as we have already seen. They have now had many years to prepare for and take control of the possible consequences. There will also be significant repercussions for the European Union: I am aware, for example, of what could happen to us with regard to agriculture. There will also be repercussions for the functioning of the World Trade Organisation, which is going to be completely restructured, although it must be said that this is already a matter of some urgency.
For this reason, although we are aware of the whole range of problems, dangers and possibilities that this accession brings, our group supports these two proposals without reservation."@en1
