lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I too wish to take my turn in congratulating Mr Karim on the truly important report which he has presented to us. However, I should like to touch on another matter. Obviously we all support the development of a strategic partnership with India. India is a strong emerging economy, a new geostrategic pole in Asia as a whole. However, if this relationship is also to be to the benefit of the European Union, it is not enough for us to welcome the statistical advantage which the European Union has over India in terms of balance of trade, in terms of direct foreign investment and in terms of the transfer of technology. We also need a common strategy for the European Union which will go beyond the individual national interests of the Member States. The recent Mittal-Arcelor case demonstrated that we must not continue at European level to follow this division between the individual interests of the European Union. India, as we have said, is a very important factor. However, we must also see the other side. India at the moment has signed a nuclear energy agreement with the United States, which shapes a new framework and a new power correlation in Asia. We must call for India to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty. It is vital to our future relations with India. On the other hand, we must understand that India bears a serious share of the responsibility for the failure of the Doha Round within the framework of the World Trade Organisation. It is India that is abusing the anti-dumping rules; it is India that is using social and environmental dumping. All these issues must be put to India if we really want an operational, effective and democratic multilateral trade system."@en1
