Last autumn, the Commission presented a new trade and investment strategy for the European Union, entitled ‘Trade for All: Towards a more responsible trade and investment policy’.

3. Notes that the New Trade Strategy aims to strengthen an economic model based on exports and, hence, on increased transportation; recalls that the ongoing increase in CO2 emissions linked to transport and international trade is in danger of undermining the effectiveness of the EU’s climate change strategy; also recalls that emissions from transport are only one component of the impact of trade and trade expansion on emissions; therefore asks the Commission to outline a strategy that considers all the effects relevant to the net emissions balance, e.g. differences in emissions according to the place of production and the production t ...[+++]echnologies and raw materials used, or differences in emissions reduction cost between countries and sectors, and the effect that the further dissemination of emissions-reducing technology could have; takes the view that, in line with the principle of policy coherence, a trade strategy should be designed primarily to strengthen endogenous development, consumption and production patterns;

3. Insists that the Union needs a coherent long-term trade strategy in order to take account of the challenges ahead and in particular of the major emerging countries; insists that such a strategy should be based on a thorough analysis of the current trends in world trade, the Union's internal and external development as well as the diversity of European enterprises, their know-how and their technological advances; regrets that the Communication fails to deliver a profound forecast of how the ‘world of trade’ could look in a policy-planning perspective of 15 to 20 years; considers that this review should establish the Commission's amb ...[+++]itions for its bilateral trading relationships over this period including a distinct geographical strategy, for example through the creation of new agreements or targets for eliminating tariffs and non-tariff barriers with its major trading partners;

17. Calls for the Commission to carry out a comprehensive impact assessment of the benefits and drawbacks for Europe's various industrial sectors and job sector so as to be able to make progress with the High-Level Economic and Trade Dialogue (HED) with China; states that the EU's strategy on trade with China must be based on taking account of European interests, especially as regards intellectual property rights, market access, public procurement and raw materials, and on respect for the principle of reciprocity; states that China, if it wants to avoid recourse to trade defence instruments, must meet its WTO obligations; stresses tha ...[+++]t the Union should make more systematic use of appropriate legal instruments whenever China does not abide by its obligations;

6. Urges the Commission to review its communication entitled ‘Trade, Growth and World Affairs: Trade Policy as a core component of the EU’s 2020 strategy’, in an effort to use the potential of international trade for job creation, poverty eradication and sustainable development worldwide; stresses that the trade strategy should give priority to multilateral trade talks over bilateral free trade agreements; stresses that an equitable outcome to the Doha Development Agenda entails taking account of the concerns of poorer WTO members r ...[+++]egarding the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals;

38. Regrets the insufficient attention paid to the external dimension of the Europe 2020 strategy; calls on the Commission to shape its ‘trade strategy for Europe 2020’ based on a multilateralism approach, in order to transform the EU’s trade policy into a true vehicle for job creation, eradication of poverty and sustainable development worldwide; firmly believes that consistency between the internal and external aspects of EU policies is indispensable and that shaping a new trade policy must be consistent with a strong job-creating industrial policy enabling creation of more and better jobs;
