lpv:spoken text	"In favour. The external dimension of social policy includes activities and initiatives of the EU aimed at promoting labour and social standards in non-Member States. Although the Lisbon strategy gave – and the EU 2020 gives – to social policy an emphasis that is greater than ever before, the issues of competitiveness and economic factors continue to take priority over social issues. Core labour standards are embedded in the eight 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. It is clear not only from these conventions but also from the report of the World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalisation that it is necessary to change the narrow focus on markets into a wider interest in people, i.e. focus on the protection of workers’ rights and the rule of labour law. In order for the EU to negotiate with non-Member States, they must respect all the abovementioned issues. This is a condition without which negotiations with non-Member States are impossible. Trade policy cannot ignore any failure to respect workers’ rights and therefore, the development of society may continue only after these drawbacks are removed."@en1
