The European Union (EU) is pushing hard for 76 African, Caribbean and Pacific countries to sign unfair trade deals before the end of this year.
From July, the new man in charge at the European Union is Portuguese Prime Minister Jose Sócrates. We want to tell him that trade could lift millions of people out of poverty if the rules were fair.
The EU promised that the interests of poor countries would be at the heart of their trade deals. But current proposals put the EU’s own economic interests above those of millions of the world’s poorest people and their environment.
The negotiations are at a critical stage. Now is the time to tell the EU that these trade deals must focus on reducing poverty. Your voice can make a difference.
Please ask Prime Minister Socrates to use his influence to make these trade agreements fair.
