An international experts meeting was held on Globalisation and Africa at the European Parliament, Brussels from April 15th -17th, 2004, sponsored by the European United Left-Nordic Green Left Group (GUE/NGL) in collaboration with a Netherlands-based Convening Committee, which included TNI. The papers presented are now online, together with the declaration which warns that the EU's proposed Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) with African countries pose an even bigger challenge than the WTO insofar as carrot and stick tactics are used to promote the unilateral liberalisation of trade and investment regimes.
