".
I voted for a statement on the WTO Ministerial Conference which sends a strong signal out that development should remain the focus of discussions in the Doha round.
This means that richer players, such as the EU, should complete the necessary reforms to end distorting subsidies in agriculture and open our agricultural markets to products from poorer, agriculture-dependent countries. At the same time, no unfair demands should be made on the very poorest countries to open their domestic markets in other areas.
There is a great deal at stake in Hong Kong, not least the need to demonstrate our commitment to encouraging trade between developing countries. South-South trading remains an important vehicle for long-term development of countries as 70% of tariffs paid by developing countries are paid to other developing countries. Further, developing countries stand to make great gains in this area since trade between developing countries is estimated to be growing twice as fast as global trade and already represents some 40% of developing country exports."@en1
