"Mr President, trade policy shows one thing very clearly. We may not agree with some of the decisions taken at the WTO level, and I myself take the view that there are many things that should be done differently, but one thing is very clear. Our combined strength is much greater than that of the individual Member States. Anyone who fails to grasp this point and lets their country go its own way, if it wishes to do so, will ultimately lead their country into the abyss. The European Union’s trade policy also shows that a policy field can function if everyone adopts a unified and unanimous approach, unlike the situation in other policy areas that are dominated by the Council, which is still not here and is still not listening. I think that is obvious. I have a message for the Commission. It is all well and good for you to say that you accept this but you do not accept that. The European Parliament is the legislator. If we agree this today, then that is what we have agreed and this constitutes a legislative act. However, I am also convinced that in the negotiations in the trialogue – should the Council condescend to reach a decision on that – we will achieve a good outcome which moves us in the right direction. Once again, I would like to thank everyone for the good cooperation."@en1
