Apart from this, this regulation will always need to be guided by principles of cooperation and development; it will need to include respect for social and environmental standards adhered to throughout the world; it will need to respect the wishes, interests, specific differences and different degrees of development of the States concerned; it will need to respect and promote preferential agreements such as the Lomé Convention, and it will need to reject the treatment of some human activities such as education and culture as mere goods.
Además de que siempre será indispensable que esa regulación se inspire en principios de cooperación y desarrollo, incluso el respeto de las normas sociales y medioambientales consagradas internacionalmente, que respete voluntades, intereses, particularidades y niveles diferentes de desarrollo de los Estados interesados, que acate y promueva acuerdos preferenciales, como el de Lomé, que rechace el tratamiento de ciertas actividades humanas, como la educación y la cultura, como meras mercancías.
