lpv:translated text	"Mr President, since the WTO was set up in 1995, the gap between rich and poor countries has become greater. The Doha Development Round was not worthy of its name. Now, the Doha deadlines are to be maintained. Mrs McNally is quite right in saying that this is not the time for adding new topics to the agenda that take account neither of the developing countries nor of the environment. This would derail the debate on those topics concerned with promoting the objective of sustainable development. This is an objective that, together with free and fair trade and the eradication of poverty, is incorporated into the EU’s new draft Constitution. The EU now has a unique opportunity to demonstrate that the Constitution is not just a paper tiger. What the EU should focus upon is ensuring that every country has its say in the negotiations and not only, as is usually the case, the rich and privileged countries that will take care of their own interests. Cancun must result in practical progress for the developing countries and show that there is a real willingness on the part of the rich countries to prioritise the fight against poverty. Finally, it must at long last be ensured that governments do not have a monopoly on negotiating and implementing WTO agreements, but that a democratically elected assembly is set up."@en1
