"Today, 27 September, the European Parliament adopted a report pompously titled ‘A new trade policy for Europe under the Europe 2020 strategy’, which actually contains nothing new. The European Parliament is succumbing to a view of international agreements that are dominated solely by economic needs. It also reaffirms that opening up and gaining access to markets remain the principal objectives. Although there can no longer be any question of dismissing humanitarian, development and environmental issues, ‘the Commission must give high priority to the EU’s trade interests’ and the other policies may be taken into account only from the point of view of their effects on those trade policies. That says it all. In other words, there is no risk of the European Union being upset by this report. Economic interests and tackling distortions of competition always take precedence, to the detriment of everything else, especially the interests of populations, whether they live in the European Union or in the countries of the South."@en1
