Africa: Call for action to stop EPA

Thirty civil society organisations involved in the Stop EPA campaign met in Harare from 27-30 March to launch a global call for action to stop the so-called Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs). Organised under the umbrella of the Africa Trade Network (ATN), the objective of the meeting was to outline existing problems within the EPAs, and call upon both the Africa, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) countries and the European Union (EU) to pay far greater attention to how it will affect citizens.
