lpv:translated text	"This report contains some positive aspects: the denouncing of multinationals’ constant disrespect for workers’ rights and decent work, and the need to horizontally integrate social policy in all European Union external policy, including so-called corporate social responsibility (CSR). However, the positive aspects are diluted by the failure to demand the implementation of alternative policies that effectively oblige companies to realise their CSR. We therefore regret that the call for point 31 – ‘Stresses that no directive regulating CSR and enforcing respect for it should be adopted at EU level’ – to be removed has been rejected. Parliament should go further than ‘requesting’ or ‘encouraging’ the Commission to adopt a position and demand the creation of a legislative framework on CSR, with minimum standards that promote respect for the core labour standards advocated by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) in multinational companies and in the European Union itself, and include decent jobs and social clauses both in any bilateral trade agreements that the European Union negotiates and within the World Trade Organisation (WTO) itself. For all these reasons, we voted against the report."@en1
