Can’t swallow this WTO deal

A WORLD trade agreement could be worth €20bn per year to the European Union, but farmers are right to oppose it.

No sector would willingly be led to the sacrificial pyre by the current crop of ham-fisted world leaders.

The likes of US president George Bush, British prime minister, Tony Blair, and European Commission president, Jose Manuel Barroso, seem too eager to grab the predicted €100bn per year of extra world trade, for us to swallow their story that the WTO is for the good of the Third World.
