A debate in the danish parliament on the 11th of May revealed a massive political support for the Millenium Round as proposed by the European Commission. This is in line with a tradition developed during the past five years, that whenever new radical decisions leading to deregulation and enhancement of the powers of TNC's etc. No nice words added.
Competition policy is described only in the sense of avoiding monopolies.
Since no mention was made of restrictive business practices of TNC's this must be interpreted as a support for the agenda of the EU and of the north as such. The resolution calls for the respect for Multilateral Environmental Agreements but states clearly that MEA's should not be allowed to used for protectionist purposes. This ignores that some MEA's are in trouble exactly because protectionist measures are necessary for their full implementation. This is actually a step back. On the positive side one should mention the proposal for free market access for all goods from the least developed countries.
