"I voted in favour of the Falbr report, which seeks to promote labour and social standards when the EU negotiates with third countries. The report takes as its basis a number of ILO conventions and, on the basis of these, it proposes that the EU should protect workers’ rights and the rule of labour law when the EU enters into trade agreements with third countries, for example. The report proposes, among other things, that minimum requirements for corporate social responsibility be laid down by means of a legal framework, that the term be better defined and that fulfilment of the requirements be better monitored. At the same time, the report rejects the use in trade agreements of the ‘MODE4 process’, which allows international companies to import their own labour force, thereby circumventing the host country’s social and working conditions. Quite apart from the fact that this puts the imported labour force in a worse position than that of the host country, it also contributes to social dumping. The EU currently has the power to enter into trade agreements with third countries on behalf of all of the Member States of the EU. I am opposed to this. However, as long as this remains the case, it will also be necessary to lay down requirements specifying what these trade agreements are to contain."@en1
