lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I speak on behalf of the new Italian Socialist Party. For ten years now, the WTO has been overseeing the complex business of international trade. The quantity and quality of this trade is growing at an exponential rate. It is therefore becoming crucial to develop a strong, uniform regulatory framework that guarantees transparency and eliminates inequalities. The multilateral system is the only form of negotiation that is likely to guarantee a balanced approach among all the members. I therefore hope that Europe can defend this position within the new negotiations and work hard to conclude the agreements by the end of 2006, since a further failure would weaken the entire system and give rise to serious consequences, especially for developing countries. It is these countries, in particular, that we need to defend, and the industrialised countries’ renunciation of export subsidies is a major step in this direction. Naturally, if an initiative of this kind is to have positive results, it must be duly supported and retabled by the other members of the WTO. For the sake of the development of the least developed countries, it is also important to ensure that the liberalisation of other sectors, such as services, does not cause irreparable harm to the economic and social structure of those countries and, in particular, that the delivery of public services is not subject to the competition rules and commercial pressure of companies from the North. Lastly, however, I urge the Commission to ensure that our production is protected, especially in those sectors in which the burden of counterfeiting and illegal importation is becoming intolerable for thousands of industries. The Commission must insist that the rules in force are strictly applied against these activities."@en1
