We have received with concern the information regarding the approved mandate of the European Commission to start negotiations towards establishing  deep and comprehensive free trade agreements , which extend to cover investment protection, government procurement, and competition policy. We perceive that negotiations on any new trade or investment agreements should not be undertaken before new constitutions are established in the Arab countries witnessing transition, and before a development model for these countries is established with priority given to peoples economic and social rights. Otherwise, such steps would incur significant stress on national policy space that citizens of these countries have re-established through their revolutions and continuous mobilizations. Within this context, we are inviting the EU and partner countries, including out national governments to undertake a full assessment- based on a human rights and development approach- of the outcomes of existent agreements and any future one. We request that the  scoping exercise currently being undertaken by the EU commission include a full assessment of human rights and development implications before any negotiations proceeds. Furthermore, we request that human rights and development considerations be integrated in policy formulation, design, and implementation, including checking and adapting the processes related to trade and investment agreements. Accordingly, we request that no negotiations on investment be initiated before the EU Commission undertake needed changes to the proposed investment model to ensure respect the sovereign right to regulation and public intervention for the public interest purposes and avoid protection of speculative forms of investment and forms of investment resulting in abusive practices. We invite the EU to seek more consultation with developing partner countries, including all relevant stakeholders and civil society organizations- a priori and ex-ante- to assess the real necessities and potential outcomes. Thank you for considering the detailed attached letter and the raised concerns, which have been shared with the European Parliament Committee on International Trade, and the Trade Policy Committee of the Council of the European Union.
