Press release Turin, 4th of February 2010
The Working group “seasonal workers, migrations and agriculture” of the European Coordination Via Campesina met on the 29th and 30th of January 2010 in Turin, 15 days after the events in Rosarno.
The working group agreed that:
-
The Common Agricultural Policy has supported the concentration and industrialization of the European agricultural production leading to the impoverishment and disappearance of many peasants and has increased the exploitation of workers.
-
The events of Rosarno form part of a migratory policy indifferent to respect for human rights, a practice unfortunately widespread throughout Europe and generated by a globalisation of economic exchanges to the detriment of populations and a just distribution of common goods.

The United Nation High Level Taskforce on the Global Food Security crisis is organising a consultation meeting with civil society organisations in Dublin, on May 17&18, to update the following document, “Comprehensive Frame work for Action” (CFA) produced in July 2008.
This report gathers a set of medium and long term actions to enable governments, UN and Bretton Wood multilateral agencies to give, according to Ban Ki Moon “a coherent and coordinated reply to the global food crisis” In the short term, access to food for the most vulnerable population must be improved and in the long term new situations of food insecurity must be avoided.
In principle, this initiative seems to satisfy all expectations, but in practice several points must be criticised.

MEDIA ADVISORY
[Washington DC, 22 April 2010] La Via Campesina, FIAN, Land Research Action Network and GRAIN, together with over 100 allies, are issuing a loud appeal to stop the current wave of land grabbing that is taking millions of hectares of farmland away from rural communities across Africa, Asia and Latin America. Their appeal coincides with the release of a new World Bank report that confirms the massive extent of of the current land grab assault and puts forward seven "principles" to make these land deals socially acceptable. The Bank’s strategy will be presented in Washington DC at a Roundtable on April 25, co-hosted by Japan, the United States and the African Union, and at the World Bank’s Annual Land Conference on April 26.

Representatives of La Via Campesina from Europe and Latin America joined the demonstrations today in Madrid demanding that the more than 60 heads of state from Europe and Latin America abandon the negotiations to sign free-trade agreements between their countries and regions and the EU.
The only beneficiaries such agreements are the same transnational corporations and international financial investors which have caused the current economic, social, environmental and political crisis.
The ideology of infinite growth based on neoliberal trade conditions managed by international speculative funds and banking systems is dead. It is not in the interests of the people of Europe or Latin America to sign the agreements imposed by the European Commission.
