lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the commercial sky clouded over in Geneva last July. Despite the hopeful ray of sunlight offered by the G8 a few days earlier in St Petersburg, the minds of certain negotiators clouded over and the negotiations of the development round were suspended . Football matches are also suspended as a result of bad weather, but they are eventually played when the fog lifts or the storm passes. The current situation should not discourage us or undermine the political will to continue along the path of multilateralism and development. We must continue to fight to maintain a multilateral international trade system with clear, transparent and binding rules, in which all countries, and particularly developing countries, can participate fully and from which they can benefit. If that did not happen, we would be entering the jungle of bilateralism. That would expand the current tangle of more than 250 bilateral treaties, it would penalise the developing countries and it would promote Darwinism, protectionism and discrimination. We must not move backwards. Commissioner, what will happen to the commitments and agreements reached last December in Hong Kong, particularly in terms of development? Is the principle of the single undertaking still valid in the Commission’s strategy? Will the elimination of export subsidies for 2013 be maintained? What will happen to the negotiations on cotton? Which countries are prepared to apply all of these agreements? Furthermore, it was said in Geneva that all of the negotiators would lose out. All citizens, and particularly those of the least-developed countries, are also losing out. What initiatives is the Commission planning in order to explain to the citizens that the WTO is not dead and that it is still the best instrument for regulating and promoting fair and free international trade?"@en1
