Paraphrasing (16th paragraph)

Text

The battleground for free markets must therefore shift from international meetings to the home front. Free trade must be sold, not merely as a means to open foreign markets, but as the best policy for Europe regardless of what other countries do. The time has come for European free traders to take seriously the ideas of unilateral trade liberalization.

The main idea of the paragraph

What is to be done for the European Union is, first of all, to enlist support from its people for tree trade, rather than participating in international negotiations for opening foreign markets.

对欧盟来说,首先需要做的是获得老百姓对自由贸易的支持,而不是去参与要求开放国外市场的国际谈判。
