I think one of the big problems with the WTO is this willingness to systematically attack tariff barriers by claiming that they are in place to hide some level of protectionism. In my view, that's the wrong way to approach things.
It is clear that we need to make a major energy transition. That is very important. We need to think about the economy in a different way. We need to shorten the circuits and produce more locally. There must also be a series of regulations to organize society around the necessary energy transition.
An organization like the WTO aims at very broad, liberalized trade. One only has to look at the history of the WTO to see that what the General Agreement on Trade in Services, or GATS, proposed in terms of liberalization was extreme. So we have to think of the world differently. The WTO must fundamentally and structurally reform its way of looking at the economy. People are ready to do this, at all levels. I mentioned Klaus Schwab earlier, and I'll repeat his name. This proves that even in fairly elitist economic places, people are ready to make this change.
The WTO must also manage to question itself and rethink the economy in a different way, according to the challenges that await us, that is to say the energy transition and the fact that social inequalities are increasing every year. Let's not forget that they are getting worse. This creates a fundamental problem. If the WTO chooses to reform itself, it must address these fundamental concerns, not put obstacles in the way, and allow states to take the necessary measures to address these major issues.
