    EU tariffs, absolutely. But I question your evidence for the total denigration of Fair Trade. First, it would be nice to think profits, if allowed to do their own thing, would naturally migrate to the workers, but that does not happen. It takes someone/thing to channel the profits and in many developing countries the only ones who might have done that, the governments, are corrupt and inexperienced. Therefore it needs another body to do it. It also achioeves more than just channeling profits, it keeps poverty on the radar and offers a measure of employment protection for the workers, which would not otherwise happen. And be careful of the words you bandy about. There are indeed charlatans, or fake charities, about and they need to be weeded out. But there are many many charities that do what they say on the tin, literally.
