I just read about a European Parliament plenary session (2006-07-06) in which the European Parliament adopted a resolution on Fair Trade and Development with an overwhelming majority. The text calls on the European Commission to come forward with a recommendation and step up public support for Fair Trade. For example by including Fair Trade as prerequisite in public prodcurement. <a HREF="http://www.europarl.europa.eu/omk/sipade3?PUBREF=-//EP//NONSGML+REPORT+A6-2006-0207+0+DOC+PDF+V0//EN&L=EN&LEVEL=0&NAV=S&LSTDOC=Y" rel="nofollow">See more in this PDF file</a>.

I haven't found it yet in France...or haven't heard that there are towns in France that are labelled Fair Trade. Maybe I'm just ignorant... Cool for Media...one leading town! Who's next?
