lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the agenda of the forthcoming ministerial conference is more than full and contains a number of essential topics, including life-saving medicines and agriculture. In addition, we have the task of enabling poor countries to meet the standards on working conditions, animal welfare and the environment, so that they can import their products into Europe. For this, producers in developing countries will need help in the field of producing, and trading in, products in line with European standards. In this context, I would argue in favour of a restricted agenda that contains the essential topics I have mentioned. I would therefore ask the Commissioner to focus his contribution on these topics so that a specific result can be achieved. It may be commercially rather more appealing for Europe to negotiate on new topics, but developing countries simply do not have the capacity to do this. Cancun’s success will therefore be measured in relation to the interests of the developing countries. It is, after all, a development round."@en1
