Ieri, 27 settembre, si è tenuto in tutto il mondo lo "Stop Epa Day", una mobilitazione mondiale nel quinto anniversario dell'avvio dei negoziati tra Unione europea (UE) e Paesi dell'Africa, dei Caraibi e del Pacifico (ACP), per la firma degli Accordi di Partenariato Economico (APE/EPA). A cinque anni di distanza e pochi mesi dalla scadenza fissata per prossimo 31 dicembre 2007, la società civile si è mobilitata per opporsi alla logica degli interessi di espansione degli affari europei che ormai permea questi accordi di liberalizzazione. In Italia la Campagna per la riforma della Banca mondiale (CRBM), Fair e Manitese, hanno chiesto al Parlamento italiano di colmare il deficit di democrazia che caratterizza la conduzione di questi accordi.
