lpv:translated text	". Mr President, Mrs Herczog, Commissioner, the Committee on International Trade has delivered an opinion that, understandably enough, concerns itself primarily with trade issues, and, although her committee has not taken on board all our suggestions – for such is politics – we are grateful to the rapporteur for this own-initiative report of hers. What, then, did we see as the main points of concern? As a means of compensating for globalisation’s potentially adverse effects within the European Union, the Commission had proposed the creation of a special fund, and we had agreed that this was the right thing to do, going on to say that such a fund would have to be properly endowed. Secondly, we had noted that the European Union, despite adverse conditions worldwide, is one of the world’s biggest producers and investors, and that it does indeed, of course, have opportunities to carry on exercising a great deal of economic clout in globalised markets, but we did also point out that – particularly when doing business with third countries – we need to consider whether those countries comply with international standards in labour law, social security law and the environment, and we proposed that preferential trade arrangements should be extended or adapted in such a way that certain preferences would be accorded to those third countries that do so – that is, to those that have ratified the international agreements on the protection of workers and of the environment and have duly implemented them. The Commissioner has just referred to the Doha Round, and he was right to do so, although assessments of it differ widely. In the opinion that our committee has produced, we said that we call on the Commission to carry out an assessment of the impact of further multilateral agreements on agriculture and services within the European Union, before we continue with these negotiations. There is an interaction here; just as we in the European Union have certain problems that I could enumerate if I had sufficient time, so, likewise, the third countries have their own, and I do believe that the only way that all sides will make headway is for them to accept one another’s problems."@en1
