In exchange for Europe's aid package, effected countries will have to open their markets to full Free Trade Areas with the EU - equivalent to the FTAA of the Americas. Called Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) these are currently being negotiated with most regions of the developing world. EPAs involve opening up of markets to a far greater extent than required by the WTO. Comhlamh's Conall O Caoimh will explain how EPAs will impact on Latin America and talk about Comhlamhs campaign to stop EPAs in their current form.
