Hallo all,
just received this mail. Sorry, the Addressee is european union.
However the thought is universal. If you klick
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/fairflowers/ you can read about the
action in english.
The demand are:
1. Calling for European legislation to establish a directive which makes the
indication of the origin of flowers compulsory.
2. Calling for European legislation to make it obligatory that flowers
imported to the European Union are examined on pesticides residues.
Pesticides which the World Health Organization categorizes as hazardous (WHO
class I) should not be allowed to enter the European Union market.
3. Promoting fair public procurement in European countries and in the bodies
of the European Union itself.
4. Promoting ratification of ILO Convention No. 110 (on plantation workers).
I see the ILO Convention No. 110 as highly important for the enhancement of
the working conditions of the flower workers.
I wonder, if in india something can be done like this.
Regards
Nalini
