On the eve of a high-level summit between the leaders of India and the European Union (EU) in Delhi, Oxfam has called upon the EU to not pressurise India into agreeing to new trade rules that could deny hundreds of millions of people access to affordable medicines. Calling on the EU not to shut down the “pharmacy of the developing world”, senior Oxfam officials noted that negotiations, which have been ongoing for four years, are a means for the two economies to agree on a trade pact and forge a new commercial relationship.
