AgriCulture and WTO: Free Trade Problems – Fair Trade Solutions

The WTO claims free trade will help the poor farmers in developing countries. This is a great myth. Only big transnational companies profit from the current system supported by EU- and USA-policies. There is urgent need for a real fair trade system including the end of EU export subsidies.

Background document: AgriCulture / Food Security / Fair Trade

At the moment international agriculture policies are dominated by trade concerns. Instead, we need a new regional approach which focuses on farming and food security as well as social policies. WTO trade agreements should not undermine national legislation in these fields. (pdf)

Towards a Real European Policy on Immigration and Asylum

For decades EU states have tried to reduce the number of immigrants - both asylum seekers and labour immigrants - to a minimum. They failed neglecting the fact that all migration is a natural phenomenon. We call for a fair regulation of migration into the EU which fully respects human rights.
