lpv:translated text	"Mr President, in the Millennium Round, concern with further free trade ought to be combined with concern for poor countries, employees’ rights and the environment. Unfortunately, the Commission’s proposals in important areas such as agriculture and TRIPS reflect an old-fashioned trading policy designed to promote one’s own export opportunities at the same time as retaining protectionist arrangements within the EU. It is not therefore difficult to understand why developing countries form the impression that the EU’s policies in other areas are just as heavily characterised by our own interests. If the negotiations are to cover employees’ rights, the environment, consumer protection, investments and competition, the EU must send out a clear signal that common interests are being given priority over and against our own narrow interests. For developing countries, this must mean free access for all goods, compensation for rising prices for basic foods, exemptions from the TRIPS agreements and a situation in which the EU removes the subsidies which result in unfair competition, especially in connection with agricultural products."@en1
