lpv:translated text	"Mr President, President Barroso, if you have to contravene the Working Time Directives, you can comfort yourself with the thought that it is, in any case, with the best of intentions, namely that of discussing global justice and the role of civil society. In Porto Alegre, I was one of 155 000 delegates from 135 countries. At the same time, 20 Heads of State and 70 ministers met in Davos. Was any listening done in Davos, however? Perhaps from a theoretical European perspective it is possible to believe that free trade, capitalism and liberalisation constitute the solution to development problems. The theory is not, however, consistent with the everyday lives of millions of people, and it is time that we began to adjust the theories to the reality, and not the other way around. It is time that trade became a tool for human beings, and not vice versa. We must stop demanding the liberalisation of water and other sensitive sectors in return for countries’ being well treated. President Barroso, when you meet President Bush and the EU Heads of Government, you can remind them of their 30 year-old promise to give 0.7% in aid. That aid would not even be needed if more of the profits from production in the developing countries were to stay in those countries. You are sincerely welcome to attend the next World Social Forum, to be held somewhere in Africa. I can lend you a few fair-trade clothes made from environmentally friendly materials so that, one day, you can take part incognito, as an ordinary delegate, and genuinely experience the atmosphere there, without the interference of security guards. It is precisely that joy and that spirit of cooperation, without hierarchical structures, which exist between everyone in the World Social Forum, that offer hope for the future."@en1
