[edit] New Zealand and Australia

It might be worth mentioning that both NZ and Australia each have a fair trade fortnight, the one in nz has recently past but there was heaps of press attention it might be worth finding out whether any other countries have a similar event and then re-writing the artical to respect that.

I will try to find out as much as i can on this, Good work thou :-)

Thanks! Fairtrade fortnights are actually celebrated in other countries as well. I changed the entry to make it "international proof".

There are also fairtrade fortnight equivalents in countries such as France and Spain... they are called differently though: in France, it's the Quinzaine du Commerce Equitable http://www.quinzaine-commerce-equitable.com/ - should we write something about this?Vincentl 04:31, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
