"I voted for this report on the external dimension of social policy, promoting labour and social standards and European corporate social responsibility. Although the Lisbon strategy and the Europe 2020 strategy place unprecedented emphasis on social policy, competitiveness issues and economic factors continue to take priority over social issues. It is essential to defend our labour standards, which are embedded in the eight International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions that focus on the freedom of association and collective bargaining, the elimination of forced and compulsory labour, the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation, and the abolition of child labour. There is a need to focus on the protection of workers’ rights and the rule of labour law. In order for third countries to negotiate with the EU, they must respect all the ideas outlined above. This should be a condition for negotiations with third countries. Trade policy cannot ignore any failure in respecting workers’ rights, and the development of society may continue only after such obstacles have been removed."@en1
