We believe that in order to be considered fair, trade agreements and policies must:

• create broad-based economic well-being, not simply increased trade
   
• be developed through an open process that includes all voices of society
   
• insure that labor, health, environmental, and human rights are protected and promoted, and are not trumped by commercial and investor interests
   
• reinforce a strong, consistent, open, international legal system, accountable to democratic institutions and respectful of national sovereignty and indigenous rights
   
• promote economic activity that is sustainable for the long-term, in all countries, rich and poor
