"Mr President, Commissioner, I too hope that the Cancun event will discuss development, but it must focus first and foremost on the development of international trade, the further liberalisation of trade. We Europeans must take care not to weigh the agenda down with issues which are unrelated to the liberalisation of trade, or we will end up handicapping the talks. Commissioner, you said that we have done what was necessary with regard to the CAP. I believe that we have done the absolute minimum needed to stop the definitive failure of the negotiations but we have done nothing more, we have done too little too late. The Community agricultural policy system is still highly, firmly protectionist. Mr Clegg has already spoken about this. Taking the example of sugar, how can we say that the Community agricultural policy is not protectionist where sugar is concerned, for example? What has sugar got to do with rural development? What has sugar got to do with environmental or social clauses? We continue to pursue a hard and fast protectionist approach with regard to sugar, to the detriment of the farming community of Mozambique, for example. The case of sugar – protectionism pure and simple – is only one example. On this basis, Commissioner, Europe will find that it is still in very serious difficulties at Cancun."@en1
