G20: these countries have large agricultural sectors, and protect their own agricultural sectors.
G33: not only developing countries but smaller countries, they concern protecting their small farmers, they want to list a series special products…..tariffs against imported agricultural commodities
G90: more large group of countries from Africa, Latin America, Asia, they don’t want WTO expand their power to the other field out of trade, including investment and competition policy.
The mechanism of trade liberalization and expansion of corporate agenda will let farmers out of business, and WTO just does something for that.
July framework(the agreement made by FIPs) deregulate everything.
Include agriculture, industrial tariffs, services and other areas in the July framework will do.
……
Dumping will continue and will be sanctioned if the July framework is approved.
60-70% of the economic activities of people are concentrated in agriculture, it’s not a question of trade, it’s a question of livelihood and survival.
To understand more, please watch the video and know exactly what WTO does!!

引用:繼「WTO為什麼對你那麼壞？」之後，關注全球南方（Focus on the Global South）再度針對WTO第六屆香港部長級會議製作了一部20分鐘的短片，片中說明除說明十二月香港部長級會議的關鍵議題（農業、服務業貿易自由化等）為什麼對人民不利外，也報導了全球反全球化團體的行動。
