"The majority in Parliament is going full steam ahead along a course that has been shown, in the reality of the EU as the largest free trade area in the world, to make no contribution towards resolving any of the problems that the workers and peoples are facing. The insistence on the free movement of goods and capital between the EU and these countries, and the ‘integration’ of the markets of the Eastern partnership countries advocated here, through the creation of ‘Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Areas’, only benefits the companies with a dominant position in production and marketing. The consequences of this are well known due to what has happened in Portugal: the destruction of small and medium-sized enterprises and national production, creating even more unemployment, and the destruction of workers’ rights. Moreover, as the situation of the EU demonstrates, ‘free trade’ has impacts that go far beyond purely trade issues, also influencing the state of democracy, and we believe that this is for the worse. ‘Free trade’ encourages the concentration and centralisation of the wealth of economically richer countries and their companies, and it runs counter to the development of fairer trade relations based on sovereignty, protection and increased national production, which can only be safeguarded by trade relations based on complementarity between countries."@en1
