dc.description.tableofcontents8.

dc.description.tableofcontents9. The European Union (EU) rejects claims by the international charity OXFAM that it is the most protectionist group of countries in international trade and OXFAM International Director Stewart Wallis says it will keep up its fight for a change of EU trading rules which are rigged against poor countries.
