Our ideal: a world in which everyone has equal opportunities for development
FMS advocates for a fairer Dutch and EU policy towards the Global South. It still happens too often that what we give with development cooperation with one hand is taken away with the other by unfair policies. Dutch tax policy still allows multinationals to pay virtually no tax in the Global South, while tax revenues are crucial for sustainable development. And while we invest in climate-friendly agriculture in the Global South, our own ecological footprint remains three times larger than the earth can handle. We want to end such inconsistencies, by advocating for fair Netherlands and EU policies in different ways.
