lpv:translated text	". Mr Purvis, it is my job to handle the trade disputes that we are currently involved in. It is preferable that I avoid disputes altogether. I believe that my task, therefore, particularly in my dealings with the Council and Parliament, is to be totally honest when a Council or Parliament decision might mean we are in danger of losing a dispute. I am sure you have a good understanding of the risk. The proof of this, in fact, is that we are now discussing the implications that all this will have on sanctions. I cannot say what the current situation is because, in order for sanctions to be taken against the European Union, a panel would have to be set up, we would have to fail before this panel and the amount of sanctions would then have to be assessed. In general, the amount of sanctions is assessed by considering the volume of trade affected. In a hypothetical scenario, in other words, a scenario where this proposal ends up becoming a European Union proposal, which is not yet the case, if it is challenged and if we lose, the volume of trade in question must be assessed and, at that point, we would have an idea of the system of sanctions. I would reiterate, so that you have all the details, that in this case, sanctions do not necessarily and do not generally target the industries which are at the root of the problem. They target others, since sanctions are chosen by the party who wins the dispute at the WTO."@en1
