"I voted against the application of an external dimension of social policy, promoting labour and social standards and European corporate social responsibility. This is because, in my opinion, the EU should refrain from imposing social prerogatives on third countries, however correct or beneficial they may deem them to be. Whilst I accept the importance of fostering humane methods of treating a workforce, social policy in the EU has already wreaked havoc on a number of UK institutions and should not be extended. A degree of flexibility and freedom is needed when dealing with social policy, as one-size-fits-all policy making can be counterproductive when applied at domestic level. For this reason, the EU should not be seeking to acquire competence over social policy at all."@en1
