When's right for access to European markets?

By Tim Worstall | 2 March 2005

Writing the the Guardian today, Gérard Errera, the French Ambassador to the UK, states:

We recognise that, ultimately, greater integration of poor countries in world trade through better access to our markets is an essential driver of growth and poverty reduction.

So we can now expect the French Government to be agitating for the abolition of the European Union system of tariffs and quotas and the dismantling of the Common Agricultural Policy?

Or does "ultimately" mean "not yet"?
