What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Calls on the Commission to actively work within the WTO in order to promote multilateral rules for the sustainable management of global value chains, including mandatory supply chain due diligence
• Welcomes the Trade Policy Review’s affirmation of multilateralism and the extensive proposals made for the necessary in-depth WTO reform across all its functions
• Welcomes the Commission’s guidelines on screening foreign direct investment, to guard against a predatory takeover of a weakened EU enterprise as a result of the pandemic

Quoted from A9-0190/2021, which says more than these lines. Each is a whole paragraph; this site does not rewrite them.
