The ΕU is going to Cancun having carried out what is for farmers a disastrous interim reform of the CAP, which it is offering as a 'gift' to the competitive global market in agricultural products. It is also prepared to abolish export subsidies and duty on imports from developing countries, which will result in the sidelining of our agricultural products.
It is also going prepared to start discussions on competition and foreign investment, on terms which will be onerous for developing countries, in that they will suffer even greater exploitation by the multinationals. They are also discussing the opening up of public services and utilities in these countries, so that the multinationals will have unimpeded access. What the WTO is not prepared to discuss is access to cheap drugs and the protection of biodiversity. The right to health, education, safe food, water, telecommunications and energy is being subjugated to commercial interests and increased profit.
We voted against the European Parliament resolution because, although it expresses certain reservations, in essence it accepts the role of the World Trade Organisation. The Communist Party of Greece does not believe in the reformation of the WTO, so that inequalities in international trade can be levelled out and the countries of the developing world can develop. However, it does believe in the fight of the peoples."@en1
