We have found a satisfactory and equitable way of dealing with the overshoots in certain of the textile categories, |
We have got to get round the current impasse, |
We must not sacrifice the CAP. |
We need to deliver this development package. |
We need to make progress in other areas. We need to address the whole of the agenda if we are to make the progress we want to do, |
We now need a pragmatic solution that deals with the immediate overshoot and with goodwill on all sides, we can do this. |
We now need to bring an end to this dispute. For too many years it has poisoned relations between the developing countries that sell bananas to Europe. The EU is faithfully following the roadmap agreed at Doha in 2001. We are confident that the WTO arbitrators will recognize this. |
We represent the masses, the progressive toiling masses. |
We should try to do even more than simply survive at Hong Kong. What we want from Hong Kong is to create the best platform for final negotiations in 2006. |
We still have a small breathing space to see whether it's possible to find a solution to the crisis we're now facing. |
We want Hong Kong to be more than treading water |
We want to see further movement on the issue of market access in agriculture, but this cannot be viewed in isolation and WTO members need to understand this. |
we will engage further in discussing the content of what we have offered and the appropriate responses by others. |
We will not succeed, in Hong Kong or after, if we continue to focus on only one part of the round. We cannot afford to wait again. When the finishing line is in sight, it is the time to quicken our pace. |
We will of course manage without him, but at this stage in the Round, it would have been easier to manage with him. |
