International trade agreements [Video Summary] [ALEV] [EN]

Video Summary of the ALDE ADLE Seminar on the role of social and evironmental standards in international trade agreements

Clauses concerning environmental, human rights, social or CSR standards increasingly play a role in the negotiations of trade agreements the EU is conducting on a bilateral and multilateral level.

The liberal conviction of liberalizing global markets often seems to contradict the respect for these standards.

The seminar will take stock of the diverse arguments of either side of this debate and will try to find possible solutions to the diverging goals within trade negotiations.
