".
The subject of this report is an extremely important one. That is why the Green/EFA Group was one of the instigators of an ITRE own-initiative report on the subject of regional integration, particularly with respect to its potential effects on multilateralism and on efforts to achieve sustainable development.
However, the final title and scope of this report was much less precise than we had anticipated, and its conclusions are at significant variance from our own.
Although some amendments that capture a number of our concerns were adopted, many others were not, and much of the report continues to give very uncritical support to ever greater economic integration.
One of our most important amendments would make the implementation of Free Trade Areas (FTAs) conditional on a prior in-depth sustainability impact assessment, to ensure that the FTA does not exacerbate inequalities among partners, and to establish mandatory rules to promote social justice and sustainability. Since this – and amendments in a similar vein – were not adopted, we have been forced to abstain on this report."@en1
