lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, in matters of international trade, as in matters of war and peace, there is a European opinion. There is, moreover, more broadly speaking, a general opinion, and that opinion is against, is clearly against services – culture, education, health – being thrown into the infernal machine of the World Trade Organisation. That opinion exists, so why are you not taking it into account? Why, in the pursuit of what pleasure – it is ultimately a rather egotistical pleasure, the Commission’s self-interest – are you going to open this Pandora’s box, which, we are quite aware, will yield only the fragmentation of the European social model and the breaking up of the way of life which our respective nations have been building for their citizens for a century, a century and a half. In these areas, it is not international trade which creates wealth, it is the strength of the internal markets, the power of national citizenship, the creative power of the people themselves. Why, then, I reiterate, are we going to open this Pandora’s box?"@en1
