lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the official European Union delegation to Seattle defended the principle of a broad agenda. It received a mandate to include an extensive range of new areas in the Millennium Round, but in fact it intended to grant the WTO an increased range of responsibilities and powers. As far as we are concerned, it is not a matter of organising the continued extension of free trade better, but of prioritising the defence of social and environmental rights and of enabling all peoples to be self-determining and to decide their own future. The delegation would also have us believe that they fought for the countries of the south. But they did nothing of the sort. As regards agriculture, the European Union defended only European agro-industry exporters against their North American competitors and the exporters of the Cairns Group. They did not stand up for the demands of European family-run or group-operated farms or the demands of the farmers of the south. The demonstrators from all over the world who hindered the Seattle conference represent the first counterattack by the world against the dictatorship of markets and financial profits. They represent a hope for millions of workers, unemployed people and landless agricultural workers, and for all the victims of this capitalist world order that the WTO wishes to force on us. The interests of the peoples of the world are antithetical to the development of liberalism."@en1
