Recital 2 a (new)
(2a) Conflicts and crisis situations, including natural and man-made disasters are often the result of failed economic, trade, social and environmental policies on all levels of decision making, including at Union level. Reversing those failed policies must therefore be the first priority of the EU in its commitment to preserve peace and prevent conflict. International trade policy can be a powerful tool in achieving these commitments, providing it is used in the interest of sustainable, human, economic development, the environment and solidarity and applies the highest possible environmental and social standards.
