ICC | 05.07.2005 20:54 | G8 2005 | Globalisation | World
The Internatinal Chamber of Commerce is the world's most powerful corporate lobby group. It's head meets the G8 before the summit begins to deliver big businesses requests.
Read between the lines: free trade imposed on the markets we want, protectionism of our intellectual property rights when it serves us, WTO trade agenda pushed through (has everyone forgotten about the WTO?); and carbon trading solutions to climate change.
