lpv:translated text	"Mr President, after a summer of difficult negotiations between Commissioner Mandelson and China about the global textile industry, it is time we replaced sectoral, ad hoc policy by a sound and long-term vision of trade relations between the European Union and China. The enormous growth figures and the prospect of China as the world’s largest exporter should not stand in the way of a factual analysis of the European trade relations with China. After all, the opportunities of the Chinese market must be seen in the right light. China is primarily geared towards taking care of the growth potential of its domestic demand itself. Above all else, Beijing wants to promote its own activity whereby it does not hesitate to stimulate price harmonisation or to dump temporary surpluses on the world market. Another problem in the trade relations with China is the large-scale violation of intellectual property. China acts too much in the tradition of Confucius, the Chinese philosopher, according to whom the imitation of a master is commendable. The European Union must put this problem at the top of its agenda. A climate of piracy and counterfeiting not only damages European enterprises, it also hinders the innovative character of local Chinese enterprises. The European Union must insist on the Chinese judiciary extending its specialist knowledge in the field of intellectual property. I take the view that Europe must venture to compete with up-and-coming economies such as China’s, provided this is done on a level playing field. Even the world’s largest exporter has duties as well as rights."@en1
