lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the next World Trade Organisation (WTO) Ministerial Conference in Geneva, this December, will mark the 10th anniversary of the launch of the Doha Round. Unfortunately it will not mark its success. On the contrary, we are now clearly facing the fact that the window of opportunity, which last year was expected for this year for a comprehensive, equitable and balanced global trade agreement, is rapidly closing, as Mr Lamy stated on 26 July in an informal meeting of the WTO’s Trade Negotiations Committee, and I quote: What we are seeing today is the paralysis in the negotiating function of the WTO (...) What we are facing is the inability of the WTO to adapt and adjust to emerging global trade priorities, those you cannot solve through bilateral deals’ End of quote. What in fact is at issue in the Doha Round is the need for a broad, harmonious opening-up of international trade, and for this to be used to support development, especially in least developed countries. In this context, the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament fully supports the resolution adopted by this Parliament’s Committee on International Trade, relating to the ongoing negotiations on the Doha Development Agenda. However, we have decided to table some amendments that will underline precisely our commitment to the multilateral system and to the development objectives of the Doha Round. The S&D Group deeply regrets the fact that the Doha negotiations appear to have reached an insurmountable impasse. Nevertheless, that is why we must put pressure on the Commission of the European Union to continue to give priority to a rules-based, multilateral trading system, established through the World Trade Organisation (WTO). Even if the Doha Round fails, the Union must continue to strive for a global order in international trade that will realise the objectives of Doha by building on what has been achieved over 10 years, instead of just casting it overboard. Although the global economy has changed a lot over the last 10 years, we socialists believe that developing countries, especially the least developed countries, remain, more than ever before, the key issue at the negotiations. We therefore support the proposal of the Director General of the WTO for an early harvest planned for December this year at that ministerial meeting. However, after the ministerial meeting, we will continue to give our firm support to the conclusion of a general multilateral trade agreement."@en1
