"The external dimension of the European Union’s social policy aims to promote social standards in non-member countries, but the issues of competitiveness and economic factors continue to take priority over social and labour issues. There are currently eight International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions that have been ratified by all EU Member States. These should lead to the creation of a bedrock of international rules shared by all Member States. In general, we still need to focus on people as human beings, which can be achieved by protecting the rights of workers and the right to work. The ILO plays an essential role on the international scene by drawing up, promoting and translating these standards into reality. Businesses must also contribute to sustainable development in order to foster good conditions for workers, but the difference between developed and developing countries still lies in their systems of social protection. I am voting in favour of the proposal under discussion in light of the above and also in order that there may be greater promotion of labour and social standards in EU Member States and non-Member States alike, as well as respect for fundamental international labour standards."@en1
