What is wrong with the trade deals at the EU?
The new trade deals that the EU is trying to secure with former European colonies are called Economic Partnership Agreements or EPAs. These deals could result in significant job losses amongst producers of manufactured goods, many of whom are women who would lose access to decent work opportunities, reduced government income from trade taxes to invest in decent public services like health and education, reduced access to cheap medicines for the poorest people and reduced access to financial services for low income communities and small businesses.
