"Madam President, the world is not a commodity. This anti-globalisation movement slogan could form the epigraph of our debate. If the world is not to be a commodity, we must fight against the iron law of financially solvent supply and demand, which affects all aspects of life. Fortunately, resistance against the disillusionment of the world is becoming organised. Some of us will shortly be among those Members of this House who will be attending the World Social Forum.
Languages, cultures, collective identities and peoples have the indefeasible right to resist Mac World. In this sense, the report which has been submitted to us is a step in the right direction because, for nature as well as for culture, diversity means life. The constant springing forth of life must be preserved, encouraged and stimulated. This will not be able to happen unless we respect the principle of the equality, before the law, of all languages and cultures. I should like, in this House as in a court of law, to call as witnesses those venerable languages and cultures which even today are still the subject of discrimination, not only in their respective States but also in our European institutions."@en1
