Mission & Interests
Goals: The S2B network (now renamed the European Trade Justice Coalition) was formed in the aftermath of the World Trade Organisation’s (WTO) 1999 Seattle Ministerial to challenge the corporate-driven trade agenda of the European Union and European governments. It has also developed as a response to the increasing need for European coordination among civil society organisations.
The S2B Networks political objectives are, to
- Roll back the power and authority of the fora and agreements used to implement the EU’s corporate driven trade and investment agenda (WTO, TISA, TTIP, bilateral and regional trade agreements, EU internal trade-related policy, etc.);
- Expose and challenge the undemocratic nature of EU decision making on trade issues;
- Promote an ecologically sustainable, socially just and democratically accountable system of trade;
- Promote legally binding rules to ensure that corporations are held democratically accountable for their conduct
