lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I listened carefully to the two Commissioners emphasise the positive role played by the European Union during the negotiations at the Johannesburg Summit. I think that it is true that the European Union played a positive role. I would like to draw everyone’s attention to the fact that if we really want to make progress at this type of summit, we must be credible to the partners who take part in negotiations and discussions. In this case, however, our credibility is marred by the fact that the European Union, in a whole string of policies, is doing the opposite of what it claims to want to do. If we take the case of the common agricultural policy, the current debate on Mr Fischler’s proposals shows that the majority of the Member States are reluctant to change, are reluctant to abandon the privileges that we acquired in the area of export subsidies. We absolutely must make an effort in this area to withdraw export subsidies and to gain this credibility in countries which are affected by these subsidies. If we do not do this, how can we ensure that, at summits of this type, these people listen to us slightly more earnestly than they do at the moment? They are not listening to us, because we are not credible. I am thinking of the agricultural policy, of the fisheries policy, which we are proposing to reform as well. The future will tell us that if we are not capable of revising these policies, in the appropriate fashion, we will not succeed in gaining more influence at forthcoming summits, because the Johannesburg Summit is not the only one, there will be many others. It is absolutely essential that we put our own house in order before we tell others what to do."@en1
