definition and objective
Article 23 of the Universal declaration of the human rights of 1948 enacts that “whoever works is entitled to an equitable remuneration ensuring him thus that its family an existence in conformity
with human dignity”. It is this basic right which trade
equitable intends to restore. “The equitable trade is a commercial partnership which aims at a sustainable development for
excluded or handicapped producers. He seeks to carry out that by proposing better commercial conditions [with the producers], while educating [consumers] to cause an awakening. ”

Its three basic principles are:
* the fi xation of a price “right” with the producers;
* the development of the fi the shortest possible lières to avoid the intermediaries;
* the pre fi nancement of the commands.
While misant on a stable commercial relation, the equitable trade supports less unbalanced exchanges, righter, in short more human.

Although many definitions exist, all agree on the basic principles which underlie the concept of the equitable trade. In October 2001, the abstract network “FINE” (FINE gathers the following organizations of the Equitable trade: EFTA (European Fair Trade Association; “Club” made up exclusively of importing organizations of the Equitable trade), formulated a single definition of the equitable trade, accepted by all the actors of the movement:

 “The Equitable trade is a partnership commercial, founded on the dialogue, the transparency and the respect, whose objective is to arrive to a greater equity in the world commerce.
It contributes to sustainable development by offering better commercial conditions and by guaranteeing the rights of the producers and the marginalized workers, particularly in the South of planet.
The organizations of the Equitable trade (supported by the consumers) are actively committed to support the producers, to sensitize the opinion and conducting campaign in favour of changes in the rules and practices of the conventional international business.

The gasoline of the Equitable trade is of:

·  to work deliberately with marginalized producers and workers in order to help them to pass from a position of vulnerability to the security and economic self-sufficiency;

·  to give more weight to the producers and to the workers as recipients of their organizations;

·  to actively play a greater part in the world arena to arrive to a greater equity in the world commerce. ”

definition & objectives

The equitable trade is very framed. Based on five great criteria, it guarantees above all with the workmen and the producers a work contract and decent wages according to their needs and those for their families. In fact the co-operatives define the selling price of the products in export, in order to ensure the payment of labour.
The distribution system and the importation of the products are done most directly possible, which avoids a overcost of the product to the sale.


The work of the children and any form of slavery are banished; the manufactoring processes must respect the traditional methods to guarantee the quality of the products and the respect of the environment.
