"The rapporteur gives the impression of being a staunch defender of free trade, and it is this vision that prevails in the report. This vision is in line with the dominant positions in Parliament, uniting the right with the social democrats. We consider the content of this report to be unacceptable.
We are looking at yet another defence of the unbridled liberalisation and deregulation of international trade. Despite the recognition that among the so-called barriers to trade, there are practices, regulations and procedures that are justified on the basic grounds of public interest, they are seeking to restrict these barriers as much as possible, upholding a restrictive view of the public interest. They want to force various countries to lift their non-tariff barriers in the name of the free movement of products from the EU, to combat favouritism towards national companies.
The liberalisation of world trade has disastrous consequences for many sectors of economic activity. It causes the destruction of productive activity and jobs, affects the capacity to create and distribute wealth, increases the dependence on foreign markets and results in chronic and growing imbalances in trade; in short, economic and social breakdown. Defending the right of each country to produce in a sustainable way is vital for the future. This should be done in the name of a new economic, social, energy-oriented and environmental rationale, something that the neoliberal model not only fails to deliver but even renders impossible."@en1
