		Oxfam singled out British-based drugs giant GlaxoSmithKline, which has major U.S. operations, urging it to set an example for the industry by abandoning legal battles and forgoing patent privileges in the developing world.
		The company said Oxfam did not recognise "the complexities involved in tackling the problem which requires a shared responsibility by all sectors of society," including governments, non-government organisations, the World Bank and the United Nations.

	The Oxfam Debate: From Controversy to Common Strategy
		Some have said that Oxfam's painting the trade debate as being divided into two big camps, whose arguments it then proceeds to caricature, is an opportunistic ploy that is designed to project Oxfam as taking the rational, sensible middle road between two irrational blocs.
		The Oxfam market-access campaign has all the hallmarks of a campaign that is driven not by a strategy derived from the global conjuncture on the trade front but by an internal organizational imperative to have a "winnable" short-term campaign.
		Oxfam should realize that there is a great difference between doing an expose and mounting a campaign, that is between exposing the double standards and hypocrisy of the big trading powers when it comes to market access and actually launching a campaign for greater market access.

		Oxfam said it hoped to have its programmes back up and running in the next few weeks.
		Oxfam is still investigating how much money has gone missing and how it was taken, but says it believes that it could amount to tens of thousands of dollars out of an overall budget of some £30m last year.
		Observers say that Oxfam's readiness to report its suspicions and address the problem - and the fact that no solid evidence of corruption has emerged else where - is likely to reassure donors rather than put them off.
