"The International Labour Organisation (ILO) plays a key role in the international system, as it contributes to building a consensus on labour standards. A significant part of this important acquis is recognised by all EU Member States. However, there remain differences in terms of labour legislation between developed and developing countries. In my opinion, it is imperative for the EU that these standards with those of third countries be reconciled, particularly with key trade partners, so as to preserve a basic level of equality in international trade. This report shares this belief, setting out some strategies for these countries to respect the same principles as the EU in labour terms. The establishment of fair standards for working conditions is a premise essential to durable and sustainable development, and will also contribute to achieving the Millennium Development Goals. I therefore believe that this report is a fairly valid contribution to the development of the system of international trade, which is based on labour relations that vary so much between countries/trade blocs. I would argue that the promotion of this policy of responsibility for working conditions demonstrates a Europe that is attentive and thorough, and that conforms to defending universal values in which it believes."@en1
