lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I would just like to say two things. The first is that, too often during the daily debates in this Chamber, we have heard talk of international trade and the Millennium Round as if they were something that we Europeans should be wary of, something to fear. Over the last few decades, over the recent quinquennia, international trade – Europe is the homeland of David Ricardo – has allowed us to create wealth, thanks to a new international division of labour. It has also brought about social inclusion and has defeated poverty which, given the growth in population, would have been much worse than it actually is today without international trade. One final point: we are trying to include too many things, too many requests on different subjects in the Millennium Round talks, perhaps to ease our conscience, when – and I am referring to capital punishment – in its own forum and at the UN, Europe cannot manage to put up a united front or find the strength to impose certain things. And then we want to debate capital punishment and other subjects in fora for trade agreements where it is inappropriate."@en1
