"Madam President, I sometimes think that we need to remind ourselves what Europe’s strength – the fundamental strength for Europe’s development – actually is. Where has this strength lain? It has lain in the ability to open up markets, to create opportunities for freer trade. The situation in Europe today is not good, but it is much better than it could have been. Is it also not the case that it is our intention, with global free trade, to overcome poverty and create freedom in the world in exactly the same way? I have to say, therefore, that I am sometimes a little concerned when I listen to some of my fellow Members, who are clearly trying to create new barriers and make the development of free trade more difficult. I think that this is the wrong way to go about things. I just wanted to say this and to express my support for Commissioner De Gucht. It is free trade that creates freedom and keeps people out of poverty. That is the path that the European Parliament should take."@en1
