Listen to an interview with Antonio Tujan of IBON an independent research organization based in Manila. The interview explores the current social, economic and political effects of the WTO on the Philippines, while reflecting on the recent WTO negotiations in Geneva, which concluded on July 31st

.

The WTO negotiations have been projected as a breakthrough by economic and political elites around the world, while social movements in the Philippines and throughout the Global South stress that the Geneva negotiations only illustrate the neo-colonial nature of the WTO.

The Geneva negotiations focused on key trade policy issues, which lead to the collapse of the September 2003 WTO Ministerial negotiations in Cancun Mexico, such as large Agricultural Subsidies maintained by northern countries and the TRIPS Agreement (Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights).

CMAQ: Vie associative


Collectif à Québec: n'existe plus.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
