lpv:translated text	". The main aim of this report by the Committee on Industry is to use free trade areas (FTAs) and bilateral agreements as a ‘Trojan horse’ to ensure the liberalisation of world trade under the control of the WTO and the ‘Doha Agenda’, and perhaps even to exceed the ambitions of these by including political aims. We read in the report that ‘...the constraint placed by the need to obtain consensus among WTO members complicates and slows down multilateral negotiations. By moving faster than the global trading system and sharing its goals, FTAs serve as catalysts for change. While FTAs undermine the non-discriminatory principle of multilateralism, as long as they are WTO-compliant and WTO-Plus, they are incentives and complementary models for new global trade initiatives...’, putting the EU forward as a model to follow. What is the point of these words? The report also claims that the EU institutions should have exclusive competence ‘for all areas of trade’, and that ‘QMV and co-decision should apply to all trade matters’, which would clearly make it hard for Portugal to protect its national interests. Hence my vote against the report."@en1
