Mr. d'Aquino, you said that Kofi Annan believed that the poor were poor not because of too much globalization, but because of too little. If Mr. Annan were here today, he might add “and because of too little intelligent regulation”. No one is opposed to globalization, but we are all feeling all the major consequences of unregulated globalization.
I'd like to know, from your members, whether we have moved away from the idea that economic development is at variance with environmental requirements. Are we really headed toward a perspective of sustainable development and consideration of the opportunities afforded by sustainable development as an instrument of economic development? We're really having a lot of trouble getting it into the government's head that this isn't a contradiction, but rather an opportunity. And moreover Mr. Obama very clearly expressed that.
