lpv:translated text	". Mr President, the suspension of the Doha Development Agenda negotiations represents a heavy blow not only for the WTO, but also for all parties to the negotiations. The WTO has lost some of its credibility, whilst global trade has benefited from drafting and enforcing international rules for the movement of trade. As I fear that the developing countries will be footing the bill for this suspension, I would call on Commissioner Mandelson to monitor the interests of those countries both multilaterally and bilaterally. Indeed, a desperate lack of economic prospects in Africa is one of the factors forcing an increasing number of people to seek their salvation in Europe. I personally have my doubts as to the composition of the G20. After all, new economic power will also need to translate into new responsibility. Also, I have always backed American trade representative Susan Schwab’s appeal to China to show evidence of this new responsibility. Commissioner, in your interview with the German magazine you expressed your commitment to carry on in order to get Doha back on track. Could you explain to me on what your optimism is founded, particularly in the light of your indication that you do not expect the negotiations to be complete before the end of the year? Do you have any evidence to assume that the Americans will make a move by then? Moreover, I should like to urge you once again to reflect very carefully on the European agenda after Doha, for that may be more desirable than we may think."@en1
