Effect Of Global Trade On The Environment

EDM number 2182 in 2005-06, proposed by John Barrett on 16/05/2006.

That this House recognises that a proportion of global trade is highly inefficient with identical products often being exported, whilst at the same time being imported with a high cost to the environment; notes that in 2004 over 460 tonnes of gingerbread was imported whilst 460 tonnes was exported, 44,000 tonnes of fresh boneless chicken was imported and 51,000 tonnes exported and 1,500 tonnes of potatoes were imported from Germany, with 1,500 tonnes exported to Germany; and calls on the Government to work with British trading bodies to make the most of British resources, and to work with European and worldwide trading bodies to ensure trade is as ecologically efficient as possible.

This motion has been signed by a total of 48 MPs.
