Volumen 2 – Potencial de las políticas de comercio e inversión para abordar los problemas del mercado de trabajo en las cadenas de suministro

1. Aplicación de las disposiciones laborales de los acuerdos comerciales del Canadá, la Unión Europea y los Estados Unidos

This chapter sheds light on labour provisions in trade agreements, focusing on the approaches taken by three key proponents of such provisions: Canada, the European Union and the United States of America. It analyses the design of relevant provisions and then looks at their implementation, focusing on notable dialogue, cooperation and dispute settlement activities. On this basis, the chapter draws several lessons for policymaking, including on avenues to involve stakeholders more effectively in the implementation of agreements.
