lpv:translated text	"Madam President, we support the WTO as the guardian of a rules-based international trading system and the role which it can play in terms of managing globalisation in a transparent and optimum manner. However imperfect the arrangements put in place by the World Trade Organisation may be, they are preferable to no arrangements at all and they are certainly preferable to an anarchic trading system. As such, we are in favour of completing the Doha negotiations under an ambitious, broad, cohesive and balanced agreement. Of course, it is now clear that it will be impossible to reach an agreement in 2011. Under no circumstances must it be at any cost to the Union, which has made ambitious concessions and ambitious offers. The countries shaping up as emerging economies must bear their share of responsibility as global players and must make concessions commensurate with their level of development and competitiveness. Of course, developing countries need to be differentiated for the benefit of the least developed countries (LDCs), for whose benefit a broad package of – if possible – immediately applicable measures should be agreed. As far as agricultural negotiations are concerned, I would stress that agriculture is not simply an economic activity; it also helps to generate basic public requirements, such as food adequacy and food safety. Be that as it may, regardless of the outcome of the Doha Round, and possibly following the reform of the WTO, the need for which we have heard argued in this Chamber, the WTO will need to respond to the new global challenges and we shall need to safeguard the credibility of the multilateral trading system."@en1
