Reopen EPA negotiations

The following comes from Tear Fund's Global Action email update:

Campaigners from across Africa are calling on us to join them in asking the European Union to reopen negotiations on Economic Partnership Agreements: trade deals that Europe is making with some of the world's poorest countries.

Ahead of the end-of-December deadline, some African countries signed up to potentially damaging interim agreements. Senior officials in the European Commission have said that it's possible to renegotiate some elements of these agreements, so please take action now, asking the UK government to hold them to this promise.
