The report presented by the Commission on its strategy on Asia gives a great deal of room to pious hopes. It has the advantage, however, of being extremely clear on certain key issues, particularly on the desire of the EU’s leading bodies to take action over any unequal liberalisation in trade and in the movement of capital, and to provide the WTO with even greater powers. No lessons have been learned from the 1997-1998 financial crises and from the crash in Asia, the current stock market crisis or from the crash in South America. Reality must fade into the background in the face of liberal dogma
in the era of capitalist globalisation.
The ASEM 4 Summit in Copenhagen will also discuss security. At a time when, in Europe, immigrants are being used as scapegoats for the social crisis and, in Asia, Washington is deploying its policy of a ‘lasting war’ in the name of combating terrorism, is once again sending forces to the Philippines and is threatening to invade Iraq, we would hope that the EU would guarantee the rights of immigrants and would oppose American interventionism.
In the real world, however, the European Union is behaving like an economically dominant force in Asia and the United States like an aggressive force. This is certainly something that the European Parliament should oppose. There may be different situations that set Asia apart but there are general developments which affect the entire continent of Europe and Asia."@en1
