"I approve of the new trade policy. It is essential to increase Europe’s gross domestic product, deal with demographic change and increase exports in order to reduce the EU’s trade dependency. I would highlight the need to establish balanced trade agreements between the EU and its trading partners, in a spirit of mutual benefit. Likewise, it is important to use international standardisation to protect consumers, the environment, health and labour regulations on product safety, and intellectual property rights. Cooperation between customs authorities and supervisory authorities on external borders is therefore essential, while nevertheless developing mutual exchange of goods and technologies between the EU and developing countries. I would underline the importance of relations with the United States for the development of efficient, low carbon-emitting technologies, and for dialogue on legislative and regulatory matters. Lastly, I think that in an economy based on low labour costs, it will be crucial for the EU to pursue innovation and to identify competitive advantages. Foreign direct investment is vital for the European economy, bearing in mind the importance of innovation for strong and sustainable growth, which can be achieved through the creation of European project bonds."@en1
