"The vision shaping this motion for a resolution is made very clear in its preamble. It takes the view that the multilateral trade system put in place by the World Trade Organisation (WTO) represents the most suitable framework for regulating and promoting open and fair trade and, at the same time, it is working towards the successful conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda.
It is a vision of so-called ‘free’ trade as a class weapon in the service of big financial institutions and companies, promoting increased exploitation of workers and peoples. It involves both social dumping, the destruction of productive strength, and environmental dumping, the degradation of the environment.
This trade policy and the agreements giving it concrete expression are increasingly lacking in democratic legitimacy. They are almost always negotiated in secret, behind the public’s backs, seeking to cover up their economic, social and environmental impact, and avoiding clear, informed debate.
This approach, which is for the profit of big business, is damaging to the needs of the peoples and workers, as well as being disadvantageous for the industries of the EU countries with the weakest economies. As such, our only option is to condemn and stridently oppose it."@en1
