What is the
Trade Justice Movement asking for?
The
new trade deals that the EU is trying to secure with 34 countries in
Asia, Africa and
Latin America
could have disastrous impacts on jobs, livelihoods, human rights and
the environment for the developing countries that sign up. A
global campaign is already underway to stop these deals unfolding
under the destructive ‘Global Europe’ strategy, and secure a
full scale review:
The
Trade Justice Movement is calling for the European Commission to:
-
Stop
unfair trade deals with Africa, Asia and
Latin America
-
Commit
before the end of 2009 to rethink EU trade policy so that it
prioritises development, environmental sustainability and human
rights in poor countries
-
Open
up European trade policy to enable better democratic
accountability and scrutiny by parliamentarians and civil
society.
