"The Doha Round envisages a general revision of WTO trade provisions: better global governance, sustainable development and better conditions for international trade and investments.
The Doha Development Round, initiated in 2011, is of great immediate interest from the point of view of international trade, and I am therefore pleased that the European Parliament has adopted this proposal.
I have voted in favour of the motion for a resolution, as it emphasises the importance of following up on the WTO members’ commitment to help developing countries in particular to benefit from the WTO’s rules, including by guaranteeing them access to the markets of the industrialised nations. I am pleased that the Chair of Committee on International Trade, Vital Moreira, who is a member of the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, has focused on ensuring that the positive effects of globalisation also benefit the developing countries.
The difficulties experienced in achieving a conclusion to the Doha Round have been well-known since the negotiations stalled in 2008, and 2011 is considered to be the year in which it will at last be possible to negotiate the conclusion of an agreement at the Eighth WTO Ministerial Conference in Geneva in mid-December.
I can only give my full support to the resolution and to the statement that the Ministerial Conference in Geneva must deliver results at least in favour of the least developed countries."@en1
