"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I voted for Mrs Saïfi’s report because it has achieved the objective it set itself of specifying how human rights and social and environmental standards should be reinforced in international trade agreements.
That will enable the major international organisations to cooperate more closely to find room in multilateral agreements for social matters. It would be useful if the World Trade Organisation were reformed to make room for that kind of cooperation, although the ostracism of certain countries would make it difficult to put such a reform into practice.
The human rights clause, in fact, already appears in the most recent international agreements, and that will become standard in future trade agreements. What is needed, then, is to ensure effective implementation both of the 27 conventions for countries to benefit from the generalised system of preferences (GSP), and of the accompanying measures designed to improve implementation capacity.
Lastly, when the GSP is reformed, it should be focused on the countries most in need."@en1
