Audition de M. Mike Moore, Directeur général de l'OMC
La fin de l'année verra une récession de nature technique au Japon, en Europe et aux Etats-Unis. Il n'y a pas lieu cependant de penser, comme le disent certains commentateurs, que les événements du 11 septembre doivent entraîner le repli sur soi et la diminution des échanges. La prochaine conférence ministérielle est l'occasion d'affirmer nos procédures, de renforcer la confiance en l'économie globale et de fortifier le système commercial multilatéral. Une Europe forte contribue d'ailleurs à consolider ce système.

Audition of M. Mike Moore, WTO Director-General
A technical recession will occur in Japan, Europe and the United States at the end of this year. There are no reasons to believe, contrary to what some commentators say that the September 11 events should give rise to withdrawal and decrease of exchanges. The next ministerial conference is the opportunity to affirm our procedures, strengthen confidence in the global economy and fortify the multilateral commercial system. A strong Europe contributes in strengthening this system.

Assessment of Trade in Services
Firstly, in the process of implementing GATS, developing countries spontaneously 'reregulated' to remove trade barriers in various areas. However, as alluded to above, this spontaneity has not been reciprocated to the same extent. Developing countries have clearly not received the benefits they thought they would. Developed countries continue to be heavily regulated in the form of maintaining trade barriers especially in several sectors of interest to developing countries.

EU Issues Pamphlets Detailing Doha objectives
Towards New Trade Round. The European Union has been in the forefront of trying to build momentum for a new global trade round. Trade Commissioner Pascal Lamy has argued consistently for a New Round that will respond creatively to the failure to launch a round in Seattle in 1999. In particular, a new round must take on board the concerns of less developed countries, and address legitimate concerns expressed by the public.

EU Wants WTO Commitment For Duty-Free, Quota-Free Access For LDC's
The European Commission agrees with much of the least developed countries' proposed development agenda for the 4th WTO Ministerial in Qatar in November 2001. The EC shares the view of LDC Ministers that development issues must be addressed decisively at Doha and beyond. The development dimension is central to the European approach to the 4th WTO Ministerial and at the core of issues suggested for negotiation in the new Round. The EC believes that broad trade negotiations, addressing market access, implementation issues, trade related technical assistance and rules that support the development process, would be in the interest of all members, not least the LDCs.

Statement on WTO (Agriculture, Rural Development, Fisheries)
We are ready to negotiate a balanced agreement to further liberalise agricultural trade. But the results must be fair and equitable for all. We believe that market access should be increased, to our benefit, as a major exporter, but also to the benefit of all other WTO Members. On domestic support, we propose further reductions in trade distorting support, but under certain conditions. On export competition, we are prepared to further reduce refunds. But we seek a level playing field with the other WTO partners. In other words, we are ready to negotiate on all three trade aspects - but we will not walk alone.
