"( ) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, for all those attached to the multilateral structure, as has just been pointed out, this suspension of the implementation of the Doha Agenda for Development, designed to make trade rules work in favour of development, is very bad news. If it ends in outright failure, we know what awaits us – a proliferation of regional agreements, which always work to the detriment of the weakest. In other words, this would be at complete variance with our objectives, which are aimed at realigning the rules of international trade in favour of the developing countries. This Round ought to enable us to deliver a fairer share of the benefits of globalisation and to take account of differences in levels of development. It should also offer developing countries better access to the markets, without forcing their own markets to open up at any price. Of course, there were some shortcomings in these negotiations, but they also delivered progress, as has been pointed out in this debate. This progress, these victories, deserve to be saved and in this respect I welcome the wish expressed by Mr Mandelson. This wish is indispensable, and it is vital that the negotiations be relaunched. Yet making progress also entails reforms, and the question of the reform of the WTO is on the table today."@en1
