lpv:translated text	"Mr President, having congratulated the rapporteur, Mrs Saïfi, I would like to note for the Commission's benefit specific points of dialogue, agreement and/or disagreement with regard to the strategically important European textile and clothing sector. I am in favour of opening up markets; I am against neo-protectionism, but in favour of the principle of reciprocity. I am in favour of abolishing quotas, but with a parallel obligation to undertake symmetrical obligations with regard to duty-related and technical barriers. I am in favour of international competition, but against all forms of its distortion, in favour of free but balanced trade, but against infringements of intellectual and industrial property rights, against imitations and piracy and against aggressive practices of economic, social and ecological dumping. I am in favour of agreed solutions with China and memoranda of understanding but, at the same time, against the fragmentary approach being taken to aggressive Chinese exports to Europe. I am against what is still, to a large extent, a closed and non-transparent market in China, the maintenance of high import barriers, the application of unfair practices and the lack of adequate cooperation on fundamental investigations into dumping practices. I am in favour of the immediate implementation of the Euro-Mediterranean trade zone on the basis of the principle of reciprocity. I am in favour of adequate Community financing to strengthen research and innovation, especially in the less advantaged areas of the European Union. The pros and cons – and these are not all – are the topical parameters of a real challenge in relations between the European Union and China and a challenge in general for the world trade system. To close, I should like to express my sympathy to the families of the victims in London and to add my feelings of repulsion about the incident to those of the British Presidency."@en1
