Say what you think - if you need help getting started we have outlined
a couple of key points below:
| > |
Commissioner Mandelson's public statements that trade must be a
'tool for development' are welcome but moves behind the scenes by
member states and officials fly in the face of that commitment. Peter
Mandleson must make sure the European Commission understands that
it can't say one thing and do something else, and that it should listen
to the people it represents when they call for action to end poverty. |
| > |
Peter Mandelson has promised that Europe's trade agreements with
Africa and other poor countries will be 'development friendly'. He
should stick to his guns and not bow to pressure from Commission officials
or those European member states, which are putting their short-term
business interests first. |
| > |
The European Commission must listen to people across Europe and
across the world who want it to take action to end poverty and who
know that trade justice is key to doing that. |
