Campaign - Raw Materials – Raw Deal!- Take Action

Take action now!

Postcards: Stop the European Union helping itself to develping countries' raw materials!

Many developing countries are rich in raw materials. The EU's new trade policy, however, will prevent them from exercising control over their natural resources. Comhlámh is campaigning for fair trading rules that allow developing countries to make their own economic choices for the benefit of their people and the planet.
