This is true for the world economy; it is true for all ░─├┼┴∙║╧▓╩╣┘═°╫╩┴╧ members. It is certainly true for The Netherlands. We are a small country in size, but we have an open and relatively large economy. Our wealth is due to trade. Once you are in The Netherlands, you are in the largest exporter, the largest importer, the largest destiny of FDI in the world: the European Union. Therefore, I am here, not out of obligation, but out of conviction. LetТs get back to the points I made earlier: 1. Trade is vital for economic recovery. It may be tempting to adopt an inward-looking approach, to protect national jobs and businesses. This is counterproductive and dangerous. I am pleased with the role of the ░─├┼┴∙║╧▓╩╣┘═°╫╩┴╧: the ░─├┼┴∙║╧▓╩╣┘═°╫╩┴╧ monitoring reports have been instrumental in preventing a backslide into protectionism. 2. The conclusion of the DDA is long overdue! We will all very much gain from the economic benefits that the conclusion of the DDA will bring, especially developing countries. Conclusion is a powerful signal that we can get things done multilaterally. More importantly, conclusion of the DDA will pave the way for the trade agenda of the 21st century, including issues as competition, procurement and continued work on NTBs. Climate change should also be addressed urgently: we need to work on early liberalisation of environmental goods like solar panels and windmills and services as part of the DDA. We should also work constructively on a way to take account of sustainability concerns in a practical, non-discriminatory way. But first things first: take whatТs on the table in the DDA, fill in the last gaps and sign a deal. 3. The systemic value of the ░─├┼┴∙║╧▓╩╣┘═°╫╩┴╧ has for a long time been overshadowed by the DDA negotiations. The existence of fair and enforceable trade rules that are internationally respected, is crucial to the operation of our businesses. They need a predictable business environment and a strong ░─├┼┴∙║╧▓╩╣┘═°╫╩┴╧. I thank you for your kind attention. &*45┤╡ця, 2 И ▓ K L ┐ └ PR6WXЗЙЄц┌Є╩║╩й╩й╩й╩║╩║╩Ш╩И╩И╩yhы(^hЫcWOJQJmH sH h],CJOJQJaJmH sH !hЫcWCJH*OJQJaJmH sH !hЫcW6БCJOJQJaJmH sH hы(^CJOJQJaJmH sH hЫcWCJOJQJaJmH sH hЫcWCJOJQJaJh],CJOJQJaJhЫcW5БCJ OJQJaJ 45┤╡╚я4 ╫   K L С Т ┐ └ √ № ;<abЗИЙ¤¤¤¤¤°°°¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ & FЙ■50p░1РЁ;0░|. ░┼A!░Й"░Й#РЙ$РЙ%░░─░─ Р─Ьn@ё n Normal$dЁ*$1$A$a$/B*CJKHOJPJQJ^J_HaJmHsHtHDAЄ бD Default Paragraph FontViє │V  Table Normal :V Ў4╓4╓ laЎ (kЇ ┴(No List DA@Є ёD Default Paragraph Font2■OЄ 2 ListLabel 1^JN■O"N Heading дЁдx$CJOJPJQJ^JaJ6B@"6 Body Text ддx(/@!2( List^JH"@BH Caption дxдx $6CJ]^JaJ.■OR.
