lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I am dismayed at the United States' belligerency towards the free market in steel, particularly since free trade has been the hallmark of the USA since the 18th century. I am appalled at the concomitant weakening of the all-important transatlantic alliance that this creates: an alliance that is the world's greatest force for peace today and one that gives unrivalled opportunities for prosperity to the world's 1 billion poorest people. But since the European Union and the USA share essential values, I cannot believe that the US seriously intends to follow this destructive course of action. I therefore see this as a purely political manoeuvre – President Bush placating domestic and special-interest lobbies. We must be tough and then we will succeed. The cause is good. The arguments are correct. I firmly support the Commission and the Council of Ministers and I believe that with EU backing and pressure, the World Trade Organization will act correctly and throw out the US position, and that President Bush will welcome this."@en1
