"Mr Mandelson, who is leading the ‘Doha Round’ talks at the World Trade Organisation on behalf of the Council and the Commission, has succeeded in keeping his ambitions to liberalise international trade intact, in spite of the lowering of expectations regarding the conclusions of the Hong Kong summit.
The ambitions that he expresses – or rather, those laid down in the negotiating mandate – are identical to those that the captains of industry trotted out yet again in their statement of 21 November, which called for greater liberalisation in agriculture and in access to the market for industrial products and services, and offered guarantees that the round of talks will be concluded by the end of 2006. This liberalisation has only served to exacerbate inequality, a fact confirmed in the latest United Nations Development Programme report.
What they are looking to do is to control international trade within the framework of capitalist competition, in such a way that the large economic and financial groups would be in control of a country’s economy, its agriculture, its industrial production, its services and its natural resources.
The reality emerging from the capitalist onslaught is a terrible tragedy. What is needed is a new international order based on cooperation, solidarity, development, respect for the sovereignty of all nations, including their right to respond to their people’s needs and to manage their own resources."@en1
