"After the climate, energy and food crises, the international financial crisis, which has resulted in a widespread social crisis, simply adds the demand for strong rules to ensure that the global economy is better integrated and does not develop to the detriment of society.
International trade, which lies at the heart of globalisation, does not escape from this demand. For people anywhere in the world, the development of international trade is, in fact, justified only where it contributes to economic development, employment and improved living standards. It is only on that condition that an opening up to trade is seen as positive and acceptable. Conversely, it arouses very strong opposition when it destroys jobs or affects standards of living, social rights and the environment.
Trade policy cannot therefore be reduced just to the immediate interests of a few economic operators. For Europe, trade policy must be consistent with all the Union’s objectives, particularly those of its foreign policy. It is, in fact, one of the levers of foreign policy intended to help regulate globalisation."@en1
