"Mr President, as a member of the Committee on International Trade, I should like to focus my intervention on the strengthening of the role of the European Union in achieving a more transparent, more democratically legitimate and efficient world trade system, a system which is at a crucial stage in its further development. We are witnessing increased international commercial interdependence and integration of the markets. We are also witnessing a constant increase in the number of States participating in the multilateral cooperation system. These are both good reasons for adjusting the rules and disciplines of the WTO, for further opening the markets in goods and services and for forging a stronger link between international trade and development. This trend clearly colours the Doha agenda. However, progress with negotiations to date demonstrates that there are difficulties. The European Union, the most important factor in the international economy and commercial diplomacy, is being called on to take on an even more active – I would say leading – role in strengthening and constantly adjusting the WTO system. In order for the new globalised environment to be able to optimise the distribution of resources, stability, predictability and solidarity, it will need to be reinforced with new, strong administrative institutions and mechanisms. Only thus will repercussions be avoided such as, for example, the textile and clothing industry and the sugar regime. My proposal concerns the fields of economic and political cooperation between the financial markets and international development cooperation on the basis of a standard for a new, international, social and ecological market economy. Today's world needs a new, cohesive global economic order, a new system of mutually supportive institutional and operational arrangements. I believe that this is the direction in which Europe should move and in which the Commission – I am addressing you, Mr President of the Commission – is being called on to develop creative initiatives and actions."@en1
