lpv:translated text	"Madam President, in a report to the 133 Committee on the WTO meeting in Qatar, the Commission asserts that ‘active participation by European civil society strengthened the hand of the EU negotiator’. This creates the impression that popular movements should be just as deliriously happy as Mr Lamy about the result from Qatar. That is an unusually impudent lie. The truth is that the environmental and solidarity organisations are criticising the EU’s action in Doha and characterising the final agreement as a defeat for the poor peoples of the world. The International Forum on Globalisation observes, for example, that the results from Qatar signify ‘the ultimate triumph for the world trade body whose very mission is to exclude civil society from shaping economic systems’. Prior to the Laeken Summit, ATTAC Belgium wrote that, partly because of its support for the WTO, the EU . The truth is that both the European popular movements and representatives of the developing countries are very embittered about the EU negotiators’ way of using the language of force to twist the arms of the poor countries’ representatives. It is bad enough that the Commission should represent a Eurocentric, self-regarding and neo-liberal trade policy, but is it not rather crude, Mr Lamy, untruthfully to try to make Europe’s popular movements jointly responsible for the shameful abuse of power of which the EU was guilty in Doha?"@en1
