The trade score assesses the barriers imposed on goods from developing countries. We rank joint 17th in this category, ahead only of Japan, Switzerland and Norway, none of which is part of a major trading bloc. Has this anything to do with recent goings on in Cancun at the WTO and the fact – I say this with considerable justification – that Ireland will protect its small farmers in the transition period relating to the reform of the CAP? I compliment the Minister of State on stating in public in Cancun that he believed Ireland's moral obligation was to look after the welfare of the developing countries in the area of trade, free up trade barriers and reduce tariffs while at the same time acknowledging the need to protect small farmers in Ireland. I compliment him on his showing to the rest of the world that Ireland should not be seen to be grouped with those nations that would be prepared to sacrifice reductions in trade barriers for their own domestic reasons.
