lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I am a staunch Eurosceptic, but there are two areas where the EU must play a central international role – trade policy and environment policy. We are now talking about trade policy. Free global trade is the key to economic prosperity for all the countries of the world, particularly the poorest. The setback in the Doha round over the summer was therefore very serious and it is now up to the EU, the world’s biggest trading organisation, to take a new initiative. It is therefore highly unfortunate that Peter Mandelson, our most competent Commission member, is leaving his post as Commissioner responsible for the EU’s trade policy. At the same time, the world economy is threatened by a devastating financial crisis. In these circumstances, the UK Government is proposing a replacement who clearly is not up to the task. It is now the responsibility of the European Parliament to ensure that we get a strong, competent Trade Commissioner at this dangerous point in history. Let us take that responsibility!"@en1
