Description

European Union New Views on Trade and Development

Finding a way to reconcile free trade agreements with economic development that can benefit poor countries is the challenge of the new round of multilateral trade talks of the World Trade Organization. What concrete proposals are the industrialized countries, like those of the European Union (EU), contributing to this process? What is being done, for example, to help people in developing countries get affordable medicines for AIDS, or tuberculosis? Can the EU promote free trade while protecting its agricultural sector? How will EU expansion affect its trade policies? In this edition of World Chronicle, these questions are examined with the help of Pascal Lamy, Trade Commissioner for the European Union.
