lpv:spoken text	"Fair Trade-type schemes – or ‘private sustainability assurance schemes’, to give them their proper, though rather cumbersome, label – have an important role to play in promoting development and informing customer choice. One of their biggest assets is that they are non-governmental in nature. As expressed in the Commission’s May 2009 communication on these schemes, governmental involvement should be limited so as not to interfere with the dynamic nature of Fair Trade and the manifestation of consumer preference. I would also recognise that there is considerable scope for consumer confusion. That is why the Commission is supportive of the efforts of bodies such as the ISEAL Alliance, the International Trade Centre and UNCTAD to provide more clarity on the sustainability criteria used for different schemes. In the Commission, responsibility for Fair Trade-type schemes is shared between different Commissioners depending on the initiative in question. Thus, for example, the services of Commissioners Tajani and Barnier have taken the lead in the preparation of the guide to socially responsible procurement. Those of Commissioner Dalli lead on informing EU consumers, and those of Commissioner Piebalgs lead when it comes to projects in developing countries. DG TRADE currently plays a central coordinating role to ensure that EU policy initiatives are coherent and consistent with the 2009 communication, and I am prepared to maintain that coordinating role in line with the commitment taken by my predecessors."@en⁴
lpv:translated text	"Koncepce typu fair trade – neboli „soukromá koncepce záruk udržitelnosti“ – abychom je nazývali pravým, byť lehce krkolomným názvem, hrají důležitou roli v podpoře udržitelného rozvoje a informovaného rozhodování zákazníků. Jejich největší předností je jejich „nevládní“ povaha. Ve vyjádření Komise k těmto koncepcím z května 2009 stojí, že by vliv státních úřadů měl být omezen tak, aby nenarušoval přirozenou dynamiku koncepce fair trade a projev volby spotřebitele. Já bych k tomu dodal, že existuje rovněž značný prostor pro matení spotřebitele. Proto Komise podporuje úsilí institucí, jako jsou Aliance ISEAL, Mezinárodní obchodní centrum či Konference OSN o obchodu a rozvoji s cílem poskytovat jasnější přehled o kritériích udržitelnosti pro různé obchodní koncepce. V Komisi sdílejí zodpovědnost za agendu koncepce fair trade jednotliví komisaři podle druhu dané iniciativy. Takto se například komisaři Tajani a Barnier ujali vedení týmu připravujícího manuál pro společensky zodpovědné přidělování zakázek. Tým komisaře Dalliho pracuje na informovanosti spotřebitelů v rámci Evropské unie a komisař Piebalg vede tým, jenž se zabývá projekty v rozvojových zemích. GŘ TRADE hraje v současné době úlohu ústředního koordinátora s cílem zajistit, aby všechny iniciativy EU byly soudržné a v souladu s vyjádřením Komise z roku 2009. Já sám jsem připraven vést tuto koordinaci v souladu se závazky přijatými mými předchůdci."@cs¹ "Fair Trade-type schemes – or ‘private sustainability assurance schemes’, to give them their proper, though rather cumbersome, label – have an important role to play in promoting development and informing customer choice.

Üks nende parimaid omadusi on see, et nad on olemuselt valitsusvälised. Nimetatud kavasid käsitlevas 2009. aasta mai komisjoni teatises öeldakse, et valitsuse osa peaks olema piiratud, et mitte sekkuda õiglase kaubanduse kavade dünaamilisse olemusse ega tarbijate valikutesse. Möönan siiski, et on ka palju võimalusi tarbijate segadusse ajamiseks. Sellepärast suhtub komisjon toetavalt selliste organite tegevusse nagu Rahvusvaheline Sotsiaalse ja Keskkondliku Akrediteerimise ja Märgistuse Liit (ISEAL), Rahvusvaheline Kaubanduskeskus ja ÜRO kaubandus- ja arengukonverents (UNCTAD), et paremini selgitada eri kavades kasutavaid jätkusuutlikkuse kriteeriume. Komisjonis jaguneb vastutus õiglase kaubanduse tüüpi kavade eest sõltuvalt algatusest eri volinike vahel. Näiteks volinike Tajani ja Barnier’ teenistused võtsid juhtrolli sotsiaalselt vastutustundlike hangete juhise ettevalmistamisel. Volinik Dalli teenistused aga teavitavad ELi tarbijaid ning volinik Piebalgsi teenistused on eestvedajaks arengumaid puudutavate projektide puhul. Kaubanduse peadirektoraadil on praegu keskse koordinaatori roll, et tagada ELi poliitikaalgatuste sidusus ja kooskõla 2009. aasta teatisega ning mina olen valmis koordinaatori rollis jätkama ja edaspidigi täitma oma eelkäijate võetud kohustusi."@et⁵ "Fair Trade-type schemes – or ‘private sustainability assurance schemes’, to give them their proper, though rather cumbersome, label – have an important role to play in promoting development and informing customer choice.

Uno dei loro maggiori vantaggi è dato dalla loro natura non governativa. Come espresso nella comunicazione della Commissione del 2009 in relazione a tali sistemi, il coinvolgimento dei governi dovrebbe essere limitato, in modo da non interferire con la natura dinamica del commercio equo e con il manifestarsi delle preferenze del consumatore. Devo anche ammettere che vengono lasciati ampi margini per generare confusione nel consumatore. É per questo che la Commissione sostiene gli sforzi di enti quali la ISEAL Alliance, il Centro per il commercio internazionale e l’UNCTAD, al fine di ottenere una maggiore chiarezza in merito ai criteri per la sostenibilità utilizzati nei vari sistemi. All’interno della Commissione, la responsabilità per i progetti di commercio equo-solidale è condivisa tra diversi Commissari, a seconda delle iniziative coinvolte. Pertanto, ad esempio, i servizi dei Commissari Tajani e Barnier, hanno assunto l’iniziativa nella predisposizione di una guida per una gestione degli appalti socialmente sostenibile. Quelli del Commissario Dalli si occupano di informazione ai consumatori dell’UE, e quelli del Commissario Piebalgs seguono i progetti nei paesi in via di sviluppo. La Direzione Generale Commercio, attualmente svolge un ruolo di coordinamento per garantire che le iniziative politiche comunitarie siano coerenti e compatibili con la comunicazione del 2009, e sono disposto a mantenere tale ruolo di coordinamento in linea con gli impegni assunti dai miei predecessori."@it¹² "Fair Trade-type schemes – or ‘private sustainability assurance schemes’, to give them their proper, though rather cumbersome, label – have an important role to play in promoting development and informing customer choice.
