In Doha where the World Trade Organisation (WTO) meeting is being held, the British charity organisation, Oxfam and the European Union (EU) Commissioner Pascal Lamy clashed publicly on whether the industrialised world had lived up to its promises to extend fair trade to the poor world. The Oxfam indictment, a widely-circulated document called "Eight broken promises: Why the WTO isn't working for the world's poor", drew a fiery response from Lamy who issued a six-page riposte, ripping into the Oxfam research.
