• Invited by the West African network of farmers organisations and agricultural producers (ROPPA) the representatives of farmers organisations and agricultural producers from Africa, Americas, Asia and Europe gathered in Dakar, Senegal from 19 to 21 May, 2003. A few months before the crucial deadline of WTO negotiations in Cancun, they published the common declaration "For mutually supportive agricultural and trade policies". Given the risks involved in the present WTO negotiations, and with a view to defending the choices stated in the declaration during the Ministerial Conference in Cancun, farmers organisations and civil society organisations must urgently be mobilised on the largest possible scale.
