Government TPR WT/TPR/G/284 G-III§29 European Union 2013 Trade Policy Framework
Relevant information
One additional tool to reinforce supportiveness between trade liberalisation and sustainable development are the assessments of the potential effects of trade agreements on the pursuit of economic, social and environmental goals. In the European Union, such assessments are carried out throughout the policy-making cycle: ex ante, in the form of Impact Assessments, when a new policy is developed; during the course of the negotiations, as Trade Sustainability Impact Assessments (SIAs); or as ex-post analyses when an agreement is implemented. The assessments address significant and relevant economic, social, human rights and environmental impacts, and aim at providing information to policy-makers on how to maximise the positive effects and/or mitigate possible negative consequences of the trade agreements. All of them include broad consultations with relevant stakeholders, including civil society.
