ecological market

We need to seize this opportunity to rebuild the foundations of our very own European brand of social and ecological market economy.

A social and ecological market economy includes protection for cultural assets and signals market definition.

A social and ecological market economy is only possible if the efforts of the NRO, national development aid and European cooperation are coordinated and combined.

My proposal concerns the fields of economic and political cooperation between the financial markets and international development cooperation on the basis of a standard for a new, international, social and ecological market economy.

For the rest, our position is based on the principles of free and fair global trade and is shaped by the European model of a social, ecological market economy, many fundamental points of which are already included in European framework legislation.

The terms of the globalised economy dictate new overall regulation of the global economic system on the basis of the social and ecological market economy, regulation which will promote the distribution of resources, stability, international solidarity and environmental and consumer protection.

Should the expansion of the world trade system and the opening up of markets be the main focus or should the defence of our European economic and social model, of the social and ecological market economy and of the Community policies developed in the interest of citizens and consumers take a prominent position?
