lpv:translated text	"Question No 14 by Gary Titley , which has been taken over by Mr Skinner (): At the European Council held in Cologne in June 1999, EU Heads of State agreed that the forthcoming “Millennium Round” WTO trade negotiations should include workers’ rights. “Negotiations covering a broad spectrum of topics, including labour standards, environment, development and transparency”, they argued, “are the most appropriate approach for achieving substantial and balanced results for the benefit of all WTO members”. The inclusion of labour standards was widely applauded by the governments of developing countries, by NGOs and by the trade union movement world-wide. A few weeks later, however, EU trade ministers subsequently decided to remove workers’ rights from the EU’s negotiating mandate. Does the Council now agree with its trade ministers that minimum labour standards have no part to play in achieving substantial and balanced results in the “Millennium Round” for the benefit of all WTO members?"@en1
