A formal complaint procedure for a more assertive approach towards TSD commitments (version 1.1)

This legal briefing sets out a recommendation for a formal complaint mechanism that NGOs, trade unions, and members of the public could use to report breaches of social, environmental, and human rights obligations in current and future EU trade agreements. The proposed mechanism would function similar to the already-existing Trade Barriers Regulation (TBR), which provides a complaint procedure for EU businesses facing foreign trade barriers.
