"The European Union’s external social policy, targeted at countries not wishing to join the EU, should, first and foremost, be coherent, pragmatic and uniform. Both internal and external social policy should promote labour standards and also social standards, which are among the EU’s most important objectives.
In connection with the above, all Member States concluding agreements with third countries should ensure that their position aligns with the European social model. We should demand that countries not wishing to join the EU respect the right of association and that they take steps to prevent discrimination on the grounds of gender or age. The elimination of child labour and citizens’ right to improve their professional qualifications are very significant issues. As far as development cooperation is concerned, the European Union has enough funds to create sufficient structures in the field of vocational education and training. It is absolutely crucial for the European Commission to make adjustments for the current situation and realities of life in the country in question when negotiating partnership agreements. The European Parliament has gained new competences since the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, and it should cooperate actively with European and international trade unions in order to improve the social situation."@en1
