lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, in autumn last year, Commissioner ,you unveiled the EU’s new trade policy: Trade for All. We were told that sustainable development and human rights would be strengthened in the EU trade deals. And yet, here we are tonight debating a trade deal with West Africa in which sustainable development has undoubtedly been sidelined. When it comes to human rights, labour and the environment, implementation is absolutely key. The systematic involvement of civil society is crucial. In this agreement, we wholly lack the tools needed to make any of these rights a reality in practice rather than just rights on paper. This must be bolstered. This is what the EU has delivered in all of its trade deals over the last ten years. Our African partners want a balanced relationship with the EU, based on mutual respect. That entails holding them to the same standards and monitoring to which we hold the rest of the world. We need some improvements, please."@en1
