"The Eighth World Trade Organisation (WTO) Ministerial Conference will take place in Geneva from 15 to 17 December 2011. Yet the Doha Round, which was launched in 2001 with a view to reviewing the rules on global trade, is at an impasse. We need to look beyond technical agreements and consider the substance. What is the purpose of the WTO? Whose interests does it protect? In this motion for a resolution, Parliament wishes to underline the importance of the WTO and the Doha Round, but above all to recap their aims: improving the way that globalisation is managed, a fairer distribution of its benefits and more balanced economic growth. They should also help to tackle new global challenges with a bearing on trade, such as food security, energy, sustainable development and aid for trade. World trade will be balanced if, and only if, the most developed countries take the necessary action to facilitate the integration of the least developed countries (LDCs). Europe needs to be fair but without being naïve: the crisis has heralded the end of ultraliberalism. We need to go back to an approach that protects our economy and our values while ensuring that others can also enjoy development and prosperity."@en1
