"Despite the wide-ranging crisis, we must not be ruled entirely by the profit motive when negotiating and signing up to trade agreements. As a guardian of the peace and defender of human rights at global level, the European Union must exploit its trade relations and its market position to ensure that human rights are upheld and democracy respected. Economic support for developing countries is also essential, but not at any price. We cannot allow the trade agreements we enter into to contribute to violations of human rights, freedom of expression and of other civil liberties. This is what actually happens when we support an economy directed by such a regime. We have to find instruments which will allow us to support the development of this country whilst at the same time promoting the development of civil society."@en1
