".
I voted in favour of the resolution on the World Social Forum and the World Economic Forum.
I feel that globalisation offers genuine opportunities for growth and for improving standards of living throughout the world. I should like to highlight the work of these two fora
each with its own perspective, in addressing global issues such as the fight against poverty, health, education, trade, agriculture and human rights.
I wish to restate my belief that globalisation must be accompanied by strenuous efforts aimed at reducing poverty; we must recognise the value of cancelling debt as a means of fighting poverty in countries where progress is made towards democratisation, respect for human rights, the rule of law and a sustainable economy.
I wish to restate my belief that globalisation is a key element in promoting competitiveness and growth in the EU and in developing countries. I therefore feel it is essential to establish a worldwide system of free and fair trade. I also wish to point out that this work is being done primarily by the World Trade Organisation, the main forum for managing globalisation by means of opening up trade, by strengthening multilateral standards and the pursuit of sustainable development."@en1
