European Commission consultation on “A renewed trade policy for a stronger Europe”
15 September 2020
In a recent proposal on Europe’s post-coronavirus recovery “Europe’s moment: Repair and prepare for the next generation”, the European Commission launched a review of the EU’s trade and investment policy.
This submission to that consultation focuses on questions 8, 9 and 13, which seeks to "build a consensus around a fresh medium-term direction for EU trade policy, responding to a variety of new global challenges and taking into account the lessons learned from the coronavirus crisis."
For IHRB, it is critical that trade is rules-based and focused on fostering social inclusion and commitment to sustainable development in order to strengthen activities and approaches for transitions towards a greener, fairer, and more responsible global economy.
