"Mr President, I will try to be brief, so that we can let the Commissioners go. In the previous debate on trade policy, we discussed and perhaps agreed that every EU policy, including trade policy, should be coherent with our European values and should have global objectives.
Trade policy in particular could, and should, be an effective instrument for supporting fair trade, taking account of social, employment and environmental standards, as well as economic benefits. We agreed in Parliament a year ago that the future common trade policy of the Union would be friendlier to people and to the environment. In concrete terms, every international agreement should include clauses on transparency, corporate responsibility and the like.
I have just one question for Commissioner De Gucht: Has the Commission set a concrete measurable objective within the framework of the 2020 strategy for assessing progress in terms of the impact of EU trade policy on human rights and social and employment standards, and on the environment?"@en1
