Key points

  • The EU must take a leading role in ensuring all its policies align with the global sustainable development agenda.
  • Legal obligations exist to ensure that EU policies likely to affect developing countries take development cooperation into account.
  • Trade agreements should be designed to support human rights, fight corruption, and empower small producers in developing nations.
  • Migration policies should focus on addressing the root causes of displacement through development aid rather than just security measures.
