Action Alert - WTO
The final statement of the WTO
Ministerial Meeting in Cancun, Mexico is now being considered.
It fails to adequately deal with the
issues raised by the developing countries.
It also seeks to keep alive discussion on the controversial "new
issues" such as the MAI style investment agreement.
It has been rejected by most third world
governments, but we will now see enormous pressure placed on these countries to
sign up to it.
In New Zealand there is one thing we can
all do this Monday morning to show our opposition to this attempted stitch-up.
Please send the NZ Government delegation
at Cancun a fax with the slogan adopted by the peoples organizations present at
Cancun.
