The Papastamkos report on the WTO ministerial conference in Hong Kong has led us to make two remarks. Firstly, it should not be difficult to understand that international trade has tremendous potential to promote development and prosperity. On the one hand, the more commercial transactions, the higher the level of dependency and cooperation between the Member States. On the other hand, the more intense the international trade, the greater the economic prosperity of the various countries, which will help to improve people’s living conditions and to make the world a safer place.
Secondly, the inevitable conclusion is that anyone wishing to see a world with more trade and more fair trade, a world in which the rules are complied with, will almost certainly leave the summit disappointed. As 2006 goes on, we are further and further away from the objective of successfully finishing the round, begun in 2001, by the end of this year. If this aim is to be achieved, however, we need to reach agreement on the advantages of free trade and on the rules to which that free trade needs to be subject."@en1
