lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner Lamy, Minister Neyts-Uyttebroeck, ladies and gentlemen, the tragic events of 11 September have led to a re-emergence of two concepts which seemed to have been forgotten: multilateralism and solidarity. Firstly, political practice is developing in such a way that we can only confront global threats in a global fashion: all united. Furthermore, we also know that poverty and underdevelopment are significant causes of insecurity. A Japanese thinker, Daisako Ikeda, said that the new concept of security, which focuses on the security of States, must be defined differently, focusing on the well-being of peoples. Only by extending freedom, human rights and development can we recover our security. At the same time, these events have speeded up the decline in confidence in our security and the economy, areas which were already showing signs of weakness. It is therefore now important that we send clear signs of revitalisation and attention to the concerns of our citizens and, above all, to the concerns of the countries which need it most, that is, the developing countries. It must therefore be an absolute priority to launch this new round of multilateral negotiations in Qatar on the date set, not yet to negotiate, but at least to set the agenda in the direction we wish to take. We want to move towards a result which provides a balance between opening up trade and subjecting that trade to rules, internal democratic, and external democratic, rules, which respect fundamental social standards, the environment and the security of our consumers. We also want a balance between an increase in exchanges and special attention to the concerns of our citizens, as well as the concerns and needs of the developing countries, who must be allowed to share fully in the benefits of international trade. In summary, therefore, the mandate which the Council has given to the Commission, in our opinion, corresponds to these balances and deserves our full support. I would like to thank Commissioner Lamy for the sensitivity he has always shown towards the European Parliament and his constant cooperation. In return, Parliament and the parliamentary delegation which will accompany him to Qatar will offer him all their support."@en1
