lpv:translated text	". We must draw the right lessons from the lack of results at the Seattle Ministerial Summit, which was supposed to fix the agenda for the “Millennium Round” at the World Trade Organisation. The failure of the negotiations, which we see as something positive, is not simply the result of chance events that were more or less forced by circumstance. In good time, we stated the need to provide a balance sheet of the effects of the Uruguay Round. We even suggested a moratorium on the start of negotiations with a view to being able to produce this kind of balance sheet and to produce a subsequent study of the routes that international trade relations are taking. We were thinking about the obscurity of the methods that have been followed. The negative consequences for the world’s poorest countries were – and are – particularly obvious. We were aware of their concerns and finally, the reason behind them. We were also aware of the growing concern among world public opinion in general about a form of globalisation that creates inequalities and injustices because it is fundamentally determined by the rules of the market and consequently by the interests that control it. Today, as we are aware of the failure to which I referred, the study, which we have previously suggested, becomes even more imperative, before any negotiations are restarted. The WTO must be reformed from top to toe. It has become crucial to move towards a limitation in the power of its rules. It is crucial that we build a serious and deep alliance with developing countries, an alliance that respects their right to economic and social progress. It is also becoming inevitable then to envisage a new trade order – in the context of a globalisation based on progress and solidarity – which respects fundamental political rights, social progress and the environment."@en1
