lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the most important contribution that the EU can make in the run-up to the meeting in Hong Kong is to commit itself to eliminating its agricultural export subsidies. This would provide millions of people in the poorest countries of the world with opportunities for development and for sustaining their livelihood. At first glance, the offers tabled by the EU regarding agricultural policy seem fairly constructive but, if one reads the small print, it becomes clear that the EU’s offer contains a good deal of hot air. The worst mistake the EU can make ahead of, and during, the negotiations in Hong Kong is to make agricultural reforms conditional on developing countries opening up their services sectors. This is the kind of blackmail that could cause the whole Hong Kong Round to collapse. In my opinion, the developing countries’ demands for protection of vital parts of their services sector from exposure to competition are entirely legitimate, given the levels of development of these sectors."@en1
