lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, firstly I would like to congratulate Ms Muscardini on an excellent report. The WTO does still have a significant role to play in the world and still plays its role well, but it needs to be modernised and reformed. One of the key reforms, I believe, is to bring parliamentary democracy to the WTO. We need a parliamentary assembly that meets regularly and monitors the work that is going on around the negotiating table at the WTO. We also need to update the WTO rules to ensure that environmental sustainability and climate change are taken into greater account in WTO negotiations and that social and labour clauses are also included in WTO negotiations. In particular, I would like to see the ILO more closely associated with the WTO’s work than it currently is. In terms of the report as a whole, I very much support the work that Ms Muscardini has done in the Committee on International Trade."@en1
