Trading cartel (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bloc

(Other definitions for bloc that I've seen before include "Political coalition" , "Axis (political)" , "Group of parties or countries united in common interest - sounds wooden" , "united nations" , "Nations grouped for a purpose" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
