Mission & Goals
The European Trade Justice Coalition (formerly the S2B Network) 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. ETJC's political objectives are, to - Roll back the power and authority of the trade deals and trade rules used to implement the corporate driven trade and investment agenda in Europe (bilateral and regional trade agreements of the EU and European governments, EU internal trade-related policy, WTO, plurilateral initiatives and newly emerging forms of trade rules); - 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;
