Abstract

Sustainable development is a goal for the European Union in its external action. Trade policy has not been unconnected to the achievement of this objective, so it has developed different techniques in order to implement it in its relations with third States, such as the inclusion of the chapters on sustainable development in free trade agreements, impact assessments, or unilateral preferences. Likewise, the Sustainable Development Agenda establishes a relational framework that aims to achieve sustainable development. More specifically, SDG17 pays attention to how trade relations should take into account sustainable development. This paper analyzes the adequacy of the work carried out by the European Union in this area to the Sustainable Development Agenda, the convenience of the established instruments, and the legal nature of sustainable development both in International Law and in the field of the Common Commercial Policy.
