Paraphrasing (19th paragraph)

Text

Nor can free traders continue to tolerate the worst trade barriers at home. In Europe, that obviously means that the Common Agricultural Policy must be tackled head-on. The use of anti-dumping duties as covert protectionism must be exposed. And politically powerful industries, such as steel and textiles, must no longer be coddled or bought off with targeted quotas and tariffs. Part of the plan for achieving those goals must be to organize import-using and exporting businesses —sectors of the economies in most EU countries that dwarf protected industries—into a new free trade coalition. That strategy has begun to work in the United States, where, for example, automobile manufacturers and other steel-using industries have begun to fight efforts by domestic steel manufacturers to further close the already protected US market.

The main idea of the paragraph

Free trade advocates should, besides publicizing the benefits of free trade, also fight trade protectionism at home and, together with import-using and exporting businesses, form a free trade coalition.

提倡自由贸易的人士除了宣传自由贸易的好处之外,还需和国内的贸易保护主义作斗争,并和采用进口产品然后出口的企业组成自由贸易的联合阵线。
