"Madam President, Commissioner, some of us were in Doha when we launched the Doha Round. We are well aware that the Round was, in a way, stillborn: it had so many contradictions in its genes that it could not succeed, but it was the international situation – it was just after 11 September – that ultimately forced all the countries to sign in Doha.
What we are seeing above all today is not a crisis of confidence within the international community, but a crisis of globalisation. We need to stop thinking about ever more liberalisation and focus instead, of course, on regulation, in a world in which every one of us today can see the damage caused by the globalisation of trade, whether it be from an environmental point of view or from a social point of view.
What kind of economy does Europe want to create for itself? How can we put a stop to environmental, social, fiscal and monetary dumping? How can we ensure that people can exercise their trade union freedom throughout the world without restriction? How can Europe make global trade dependent on the recognition and exercise of trade union freedom? These are the questions that we need to be asking ourselves today, that Europe needs to ask itself when it operates within a multilateral framework.
We must acknowledge that the Doha Round is finished, adopt a package that is limited and restricted to the least developed countries and, above all, launch an ambitious and transparent process for reforming the World Trade Organisation, one that guarantees the fair participation of all stakeholders and safeguards the interests of the weakest countries in particular, that makes trade law subject to social legislation, environmental law and, of course, human rights, and that actually promotes a multilateral regulatory agenda that puts globalisation back where it belongs."@en1
