Proposal for a regulation

Recital 7 a (new)
(7a) In response to climate change and social dumping, the chapters on trade and sustainable development and the protection of workers’ rights should occupy a central place in international trade agreements and be binding. These chapters on trade and sustainable development and the protection of workers’ rights should be included within the scope of the commercial policy measures which the Union can take in the event of a manifest breach by a third country. This would strengthen the deterrent effect of the regulation and guarantee an immediate response by the EU designed to safeguard its interests and values.
