lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, Mr President-in-Office of the Council: with regard to globalisation, President Ricardo Lagos recently told this very House that in the end the multilateral becomes local policy. The results achieved in Hong Kong will in the end have a local effect and will directly affect the daily lives of the citizens, both in the Union and in the rest of the world. The citizens know this and, since Seattle, many of them are mobilising. There are great hopes and expectations to which we politicians must respond. Hong Kong is not the end of the Round, but we must not allow it to become a complete halt. Like bicycles, the WTO topples if we stop pedalling and we cyclists fall with the bicycle. If we fail, we will all be losers: bilateralism, Darwinism, protectionism and discrimination will win. The ambitions of the Round must not be reduced, even when it seems necessary to reduce them for Hong Kong. The Round must continue to focus on development, but, Commissioner, we must also defend the interests of our own citizens. This is why we in this House continue to support the Union’s objective and the strategy of the Commission. We would call on you to persist in your efforts to reach a balanced agreement in the different areas of negotiation: development, agriculture, NAMA and services. Time is at a premium: the Round should end in 2006 so that it can pass through the fast track of the United States Congress as soon as possible. The WTO bicycle cannot run into a wall in 2007, once the negotiating mandate granted to the Bush administration by Congress runs out. Go to it, Commissioner: the other negotiators will have to make a move sooner or later. Do not stop pedalling; carry on negotiating until the end."@en1
