  Marching to Put People First

  Thanks for posting this Zarah. Its great to see global fair trade product, producer, retailer associations like the Fair Trade Federation bringing in a fair policy analysis.
  
  Here in the U.S. fair traders are watching eagerly to see if President Obama makes good on his promises to push for substantial reforms in the multilateral trading system. Some worrysome comments have emerged from some around him, including US Trade Representative Ron Kirk, that they will push to conclude the Doha round of the WTO negotiations.
  
  Reckless pursuit of Doha conclusion means more of the same failed trade policies that have hurt workers, the environment, and done nothing to spur the sustainable development that the world is yearning for.
  
  Eyes will indeed be on Presdient Obama as he states the full official policy of the White House and tlays out his vision for global economic recovery so the world can see. Let's hope its sounds a lot like Barbara Crowther's quote!
