"The negotiations that began in 2001 in Doha (Qatar) remain at a standstill after what has now been 10 years. The last attempt at reaching an agreement took place in 2008 in Geneva. It failed on account of the demands of the economically strengthened emerging nations, China and India. The unwillingness of the United States to compromise made consensus impossible. The motion for a resolution does not take adequate account of the new balance of power in the World Trade Organisation (WTO) negotiations, as China and India in particular used these negotiations as a stage for trialling their strength against the industrialised nations. Likewise, China’s export restrictions on raw materials do not receive adequate consideration.
The condemnation by the WTO will not, in all probability, persuade the country to increase its exports of raw materials. There is a danger that the EU will unilaterally liberalise its trade, which would result in a distortion of competition to the advantage of the other members of the WTO. This approach is already evident in this report. In addition, there is no proposal to regulate the problems involved in protecting intellectual property. I therefore voted against the motion for a resolution."@en1
