Make Trade Fair is a campaign organized by Oxfam International to promote trade justice and fair trade among governments, institutions, and multinational corporations. ==Objectives== The campaign has focused on the elimination of several trade practices: * Dumping, which occurs when highly subsidized, surplus commodities from developed countries such as rice, cotton, corn, and sugar are sold at low prices and farmers from poor countries have difficulty competing. It is believed that this creates an uneven playing field where farmers in developing countries are unable to compete in the market with cheaper foreign produce and crops.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rigged Rules - Dumping )〕 * Tariffs, where nations enforce high taxes on imported goods, restricting the sales of products from other nations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rigged Rules - Market Access )〕 * Unbalanced labour rights for women, who often earn lower wages than their male counterparts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rigged Rules - Labour Rights )〕 * Stringent patent issues, that prevent the prices of medication, software, and textbooks (e.g. Gene patents, Chemical patents, and Software patents) from being lowered. Thus, such essential goods are often inaccessible to developing nations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rigged Rules - Patents )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Make Trade Fair」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
