lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this resolution because it emphasises the pivotal role that the European Union wants and should play with respect to third countries, especially with the EU’s trading partners. Failure to comply with basic international social standards constitutes a form of social and environmental dumping to the detriment of European companies and workers. This is one of the points I was keen to stress in the opinion of the Committee on International Trade on this issue, for which I was rapporteur. However the EU cannot do everything on its own: it must cooperate more with the relevant international organisations (ILO, WTO, OECD), in particular, for combating the phenomenon of free zones, as these go against any social legislation. Moreover, while corporate social responsibility is currently well-established in Europe, European companies, their subsidiaries and their subcontractors play a vital role in promoting and disseminating social and labour standards around the world because of their weight in international trade. The Commission must encourage them in this regard, particularly by seeking and promoting best practices."@en1
