lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the WTO is the main imperialist mechanism which imposes the terms of the multinationals and the full liberalisation and opening of the markets on international trade. The result is the widening of the gap between rich and poor, despite the growth in international trade. The failure of Cancún demonstrates that the WTO cannot play this role unimpeded, which is, without doubt, a good thing. Resistance is growing both on the streets and in the negotiating chambers. New players are appearing and claiming a place in the game. Intra-capitalist oppositions are becoming more acute. The solution does not lie in reforms in one direction or another, it needs to get to the very foundations of the WTO. The European Union went to Cancún having sacrificed the interests of small and medium-sized farmers. It is clear from the interview with Mr Lamy that he intends to sacrifice even more and I am waiting for an answer to the question of how far he will go. With cotton, for example, where the European Union imports 70% of its requirements, will we reach the point at which we import 100% and wipe out the cotton industry in Greece, Spain and Portugal?"@en1
