"Madam President, an institution that is not operating properly must be reformed to ensure that it serves all stakeholders and consumers correctly. We do support free trade, but unfortunately the latter is often accompanied by the temptation to succumb to greed. A control mechanism must be established as trade is liberalised, and that is the purpose of a strong World Trade Organisation operating correctly. International trade has now developed to such an extent, and become so swift and wide-ranging that good coordination is required. The European Parliament cannot stand idly by. In my heart of hearts I therefore firmly believe that Mrs Muscardini's work on reforming this organisation will serve to meet these expectations and result in an international body able to steer trade along a clear and well defined course."@en1
