Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Recalls that trade liberalisation is not positive, per se, in terms of reducing poverty and inequalities, and that it can even have negative effects on sustainable development if it is not properly regulated; underlines, in this context, the potential of the WTO as an efficient rules-based multilateral negotiating forum which provides a platform for open discussion on global trade-related issues; insists that the EU should continue to promote the democratisation of the WTO; regrets that the Commission is responsible for negotiations on free trade agreements with third countries or organisations, and that neither the peoples concerned nor their representatives are involved in these negotiations;

Paragraph 2
2. Calls for a trade agenda based on fair trade for the benefit of all, which puts development and social, environmental and human rights at the centre of the process and has a special focus on the needs of low-income developing countries and least-developed countries; notes that trade liberalisation, as currently organised, is not compatible with these sustainable development objectives;
