Call on European leaders to stand up to corporate lobbying and end the secret deals

3 June, 2012

Some irresponsible multinational companies are lobbying hard to water down proposed new European laws that would lift the lid on the trillions of dollars they pay to governments across Africa for their natural resources.

These secret payments allow unscrupulous leaders to pocket some of the profits and prevent citizens from ensuring the money is used properly for vital services like schools, roads and health clinics that would benefit all

ONE, a grassroots campaign of more than 2.5 million people committed to the fight against extreme poverty and preventable diseases, asks us to sign the petition to European leaders at http://act.one.org/sign/trillion_dollar_scandal/.
