"I welcome this report and would stress the view that free and fair trade in itself is the most useful tool in helping developing countries to help themselves. It points out the major impact that trade and investment can have on the sustainable development of least advanced poor countries and on fighting poverty and combating human rights violations where it is tailored accordingly, carried out with long-term objectives, clearly targeted, framed within clear performance rules, and connected with counterbalancing measures for transition periods, for instance through specific programmes for trade preferences, trade sanctions, regulation of trade in certain goods which could be used for capital punishment, torture, inhuman or degrading treatment and punishment, and certification systems regulating trade in conflict minerals. It calls, therefore, for the EU to develop ambitious, efficient and active trade policy measures for promoting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs); believes, with regard to the conclusion of the Doha Development Round, that the UN can use its unique position in the multilateral agenda to ensure that those talks are a success for developing countries."@en1
