lpv:translated text	". Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to extend warm thanks to Mr Papastamkos for the clear guidance he gave when in Hong Kong. We can count ourselves fortunate that, in Hong Kong, a political framework was achieved that now determines the form that the negotiations in Geneva will take. Politics has, after all, achieved something, but it is now for the experts in Geneva to work out the substance, and we can only hope that they do it as quickly as possible. We know that that will not be easy, but we are under a certain pressure of time, without which, as a rule, solutions are not arrived at in this area. For the small and medium-sized enterprises, of course, the primary concern is with the opening up of the market, which should be ambitious and, above all, founded upon mutuality. I believe that it is in this area that the ‘development box’ – a programme for SMEs, designed to bring together small family-run businesses in the developed world and in the least developed countries – would be a good way for both sides to be successful in the future. For that, of course, we need the parliamentary dimension in the various WTO countries. As we know, every parliament includes both government and opposition, and it is the opposition that could make very considerable headway where these issues are concerned, for, in the least developed countries, the opposition and, of course, the media, are of particular importance when it comes to making progress in negotiations. Finally – and this, I believe, is not without significance – there is the trans-Atlantic relationship. This is where talks are needed, particularly with regard to agriculture, and I can do no other than concur with Mr Deß. We need a framework here that promises a winning chance for all. We need the world market, and so may it be in future too."@en1
