lpv:translated text	"It is well known that the World Trade Organisation (WTO) is one of the most important instruments of capitalist globalisation, and it plays a pivotal role in the affirmation and imposition of one of its pillars: the deregulation and liberalisation of international trade to benefit the big business in the major powers, creating ‘new trading opportunities’ for them. However, it also aims to impose competition between workforces, so making more labour available at a lower cost. The rhetoric of multilateralism, to which advocates of the WTO frequently recourse, cannot hide the fact that this is not a democratic organisation, as it is unrepresentative and is actually contrary to the interests of the people. The obvious consequences of free trade are well known: the destruction and relocation of productive activities and jobs, the attack on social and labour rights, and the degradation of the environment and natural resources. That is the Doha route. Now, in the interests of the workers and peoples of Europe and the whole world, it is necessary to change this path. The ‘global system of economic governance’ referred to in the resolution is nothing more than the governance of capital, acting at global level to defend its own interests. We therefore voted against."@en1
