"I am delighted that the opinion of the Committee on Development, for which I was rapporteur, has been included in this report. As we speak, the 100th International Labour Conference is taking place and we all know that the current rules are ineffective.
In a context of global crisis, it is crucial that the EU sends a strong message calling for a new era of social justice. The proposals contained in Mr Falbr’s report would enable us to take real steps in that direction. We can only deplore this policy of double standards when it comes to applying social rights. We need to have implementation mechanisms (with incentives and penalties) so that social standards are actually applied. A social clause should be added to all EU trade agreements and be legally binding. Let me also disapprove of the fact that at paragraph 31, the report stresses that no European directive enforcing respect for corporate social responsibility should be adopted. I insist on the need to move towards more social justice and to ensure workers’ rights are respected worldwide, particularly in our dealings with developing countries."@en1
