lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the oral question by our Committee on International Trade is very relevant and timely. The European Parliament cannot look the other way when negotiations which are so important at multilateral level and which had offered such great hopes for more organised, transparent, free and fair trade are suspended. We would refer to the motion for a resolution presented by our group with regard to the concrete aspects we are debating here. We would like to point out, however, that a failure of the Doha Round would be a failure for international trade and for the multilateral system, since it would jeopardise the achievements such as tariff and trade preferences and would lead to a multiplicity and overlapping of rules, thereby making companies’ lives more difficult. The real fundamental reasons for this failure must be entirely exposed. The inflexible States that have hindered the negotiation must be condemned, and we must not give up on the negotiations. They must be revived so that we can take advantage of the progress already made and make the Doha Round a success for the sake of a fairer form of globalisation and for the sake of the WTO itself. The very future of this organisation is at stake; the WTO could be greatly harmed by this crisis. This requires serious reflection, and the WTO’s operating mechanisms must be updated, modernised and democratised. The European Parliament must continue to play the role that has been assigned to us by seriously and rigorously monitoring the situation that has been created and promoting a solution to the current impasse for the good of everybody, but above all, as others have said, for the good of the least-developed countries. Commissioner, we are grateful to you for being here and for the information you have given us, and you know that you can count on this Parliament, as other speakers have said, in the efforts to unblock these negotiations."@en1
