lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, as the Commissioner herself has said and other Members have pointed out, we should not miss the symbolism of Nairobi being the first time that a WTO Ministerial Conference has been held in Africa. We should see this as an opportunity to put development firmly back on the Doha Development Round and emphasise, as much as possible, development items during the course of the Ministerial Conference. Firstly, I hope the EU will continue its support for special and differential treatment and put that at the core of some of our debates during the Ministerial Conference, particularly trying to target the least-developed countries (LDCs) to ensure that they benefit from the opening up of trade. As others have said this afternoon, we all welcome the conclusion of the Trade Facilitation Agreement. We should aim to try and get that signed before the Ministerial Conference, and I know the Commissioner is working on that. I do not pretend it is an easy task, but again, the symbolism of getting that done before Nairobi would be vital. We should also (I think it was Mr Rübig who raised the issue) try to push our Member States to deliver on their aid-for-trade commitments. The European Union institutions have largely delivered on the commitments made at Gleneagles a number of years ago; the Member States have almost universally failed to do so. So we need to press them in this regard. Finally, although it is not a matter for the WTO Ministerial Conference, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Commission for the position it recently took at the WTO TRIPS Council on the extension of IP exemptions for medicines for LDCs. This is a real contribution to ensuring access to medicines for the poorest countries in the world."@en1
