[bossykate]

hi everyone

friends of the earth have got an email Blair campaign going to put pressure on the govt to rein in proposals for new regulations on international investment which will be to the disadvantage of developing countries.

it's urgent because the talks close tomorrow.

thanks for listening.

Oh yes, I will email him. Did anyone read the supplement on Trade that came with The Guardian recently? Shocking and horrible stuff.

Another issue is the agricultural subsidies: kick aas

(Tigger, I'd love to hear your view on this.)

thanks www, not a blinding response here but every little helps!

jj, thanks to you too if you emailed or even looked at the link, it's not clear from your message

No thankyou bossykate, i did! A Good book to buy is the good shopping guide, it tells you what companies rip off developing countries, and who invests in arms Etc.

Heres where you buy it

The smile is the link!

Sorry bk, only saw this just now, I have emailed blair anyway. I wish I'd seen your post earlier...

BK, yep, I did! Woke up this morning to find the talks had failed. (The EU and US insisted on the developing countries accept an international investment proposal to compromise at all on agricultural subsidies.)

I did read a comment that no deal was better than a bad deal for the developing countries. Sigh.... too bad there was no good deal to be had.
