lpv:translated text	"Mr President, thank you, Commissioner, for your presentation. The President of the WTO has now come up, of course, with a proposal to cancel the peace agreement in the agricultural sphere. I know that this is not part of the mandate, but I nonetheless think it worth reflecting upon now that we are interested in obtaining equal trading conditions in this area too. We do in fact use the United States’s protectionists in the agricultural sphere to excuse our own protectionism. Why not instead do away with both forms of protectionism and enter into proper trading arrangements with the developing countries? The second point is workers’ rights. How do we ensure that countries entering into agreements at the WTO observe, as a minimum, their own laws and rules governing workers’ rights, wages etc. I am thinking, for example, of Thailand where refugees from Burma work in prison-like conditions for virtually no money and where the trade goes directly to Europe. It is on our shelves that products from these prison camps are found. How are we to get this issue into the WTO negotiations?"@en1
