lpv:translated text	"Mr President, first of all, I should like to thank the rapporteur for the excellent work. Although a great deal of progress is yet to be made in the negotiations, at least people are still talking, which is a blessing in itself. I should like to make three points which, to my mind, will remain of critical importance in the coming weeks and months. First of all, there is the need to involve the poorest countries. Many delegations, in respect of the poorest countries that stand to gain the most from this round, find it difficult to remain involved in the negotiations at an expert level. Secondly, it is these developing countries in particular that must benefit from world trade. After all, it is not for nothing that we talk about the Doha ‘development’ rounds. I should therefore like to call on the Commission and the EU Member States to translate this fine principle, one that has been referred to in many speeches, into action both during and after the negotiations. Finally, there is the liberalisation of trade in services. The way in which those negotiations are being conducted is changing, and I regard that as a dangerous development. In my view, abandoning the bottom-up approach cannot be reconciled with the idea of a development round and the report could have been more hard-hitting on that point."@en1
