European Parliament
McNally (PSE ).
Mr President, we all realise that both Commissioner Lamy and Commissioner Fischler will need to stay within their mandate. Within that mandate are included the Singapore issues and, in particular, investment. Commissioner Lamy, you know from the last time we discussed this in this Chamber that the PSE Group feels it is quite inappropriate to pursue, of the Singapore issues, investment in particular.
Do you feel that the mood amongst developing countries is such that we risk causing great disruption to the discussions if we insist, against their will, on pursuing the question of investment? Frankly, in our opinion, this is not the time. I would be pleased to hear whether you accept that we ought to drop the push for investment to be included.
