欧盟非常重视目前正在与亚洲国家谈判的自由贸易协定，其中必须包含一个可持续发展章节，明确提到尊重劳工组织的核心劳工标准。虽然他们拒绝欧洲工会要求的基于制裁的办法，但他们承认需要一些真实的执行机制。在亚洲国家中，韩国最有可能接受某种形式的社会条款，而印度和一些东盟国家强烈反对它。本文探讨了在双边层面上就这一棘手问题达成共识的前景，迄今为止，在多边层面上失败了。
The EU sets considerable store by the need for its Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) now under negotiation with Asian countries to contain a sustainable development chapter with clear references to respect for the core ILO labour standards. While they reject the sanctions-based approach demanded by the European trade unions, they accept that some real enforcement mechanisms will be needed. Among Asian countries, Korea is most likely to accept some form of a social clause, while India and certainly some ASEAN countries strongly oppose it. This article explores the prospects for mutual agreement on this thorny issue at the bilateral level which, to date, has failed at the multilateral level.
