On the occasion of International Women's Day on 8 March 2011, Director-General Pascal Lamy underlined that "in many countries, woman-owned businesses represent the fastest growing segment of the workforce. ... As the businesses these women create mature, they will look for opportunities beyond their borders and the world trading system needs to ensure that women entrepreneurs have every chance to seize these opportunities."

Why is it important to conclude the Doha Round negotiations?

Despite the difficulty to reach a final agreement on the Doha Round of trade talks, launched in 2001, many economists argue that a global deal would benefit the multilateral trading system as a whole and would significantly boost economic growth. Why is this negotiation difficult to conclude, and what has to be done to bring about agreement? Peter Sutherland, former GATT / WTO Director-General and co-author of "The Doha Round — Setting a deadline, defining a final deal", shares his views on this issue with Keith Rockwell, WTO Spokesman.

WTO report calls for more cooperation among governments in natural resource trade

Trading in natural resources creates a great many challenges both for importing and exporting countries and governments need to cooperate more intensively if these challenges are to be adequately addressed, according to WTO economists. Director-General Pascal Lamy said: "I believe not only that there is room for mutually beneficial negotiating trade-offs that encompass natural resources trade, but also that a failure to address these issues could be a recipe for growing tension in international trade relations".

In the WTO flagship publication World Trade Report 2010 launched on 23 July 2010 in Shanghai and Geneva, the economists maintain that "in a world where scarce natural resource endowments must be nurtured and managed with care, uncoo...

Trade in food products helps raise incomes. But to enjoy the full benefit, countries have to meet food safety and health standards. Stories from Thailand and Viet Nam show how some are rising to the challenge.

A film by the Standards and Trade Development Facility (STDF).

Title: Doha Stocktaking - Press Conference

Description: http://www.wto.org/ 26.03.2010

TRADE NEGOTIATIONS COMMITTEE
Stocktaking ends with collective determination to start building global Doha package.

Director-General Pascal Lamy told the Trade Negotiations Committee on 26 March 2010 that while there is certainly disappointment that we are not closer to our goal, I have not detected any defeatism. He said that the feature of his consultations during the week has been the commitment to now start working towards weaving all strings of the negotiations into an overall package. The name of the game now is closing the gaps, and paraphrasing the words of Admiral Nelson, the WTO expects that every member will do its duty.

After the sharpest decline in more than 70 years, world trade is set to rebound in 2010 by growing at 9.5%, according to WTO economists. WTO rules and principles have assisted governments in keeping markets open and they now provide a platform from which trade can grow as the global economy improves. We see the light at the end of the tunnel and trade promises to be an important part of the recovery. But we must avoid derailing any economic revival through protectionism, said Director-General Pascal Lamy.

What role for the multilateral trade negotiations in global governance?

The recent global financial crisis tested the current structures of international governance. According to Luiz Felipe Lampreia, Brazil's minister of foreign relations from 1995 to 2001, WTO rules worked as a barrier against a descent into protectionism during the crisis. Mr. Lampreia was the chief Brazilian negotiator in the Uruguay Round, and he discussed with WTO Spokesman Keith Rockwell how those negotiations have shaped today's global trading system.

Entrevista con Eduardo Pérez Motta - Comercio y Política de Competencia

Title: Entrevista con Eduardo Pérez Motta - Comercio y Política de Competencia
Runtime: 8:13

Description: http://www.wto.org/index.htm 29.09.09

¿Cómo puede la interacción entre la política comercial y la política de competencia contribuir al desarrollo económico?

El vínculo entre el comercio y la competencia es fuerte, complejo y, desde el punto de vista de algunos Miembros de la OMC, controvertido. La crisis económica que afecta al mundo ha sometido a los gobiernos a cada vez más presiones proteccionistas y, una vez más, ha propiciado que algunos medios pidan una mayor coherencia entre la política comercial y la política de competencia. Sin embargo, otros dudan de que esas políticas sean de hecho complementarias. Eduardo Pérez Motta, Presidente de la Comisión Federal de Competencia de México, analizó estas complejas cuestiones con Maria Perez-Esteve.

Interview with Eduardo Pérez Motta - Competition, trade policy and economic development

Title: Interview with Eduardo Pérez Motta - Competition, trade policy and economic development
Runtime: 7:24
Date posted: 17 years ago
Description: http://www.wto.org/ 29.09.09

How can the interaction of competition and trade policy contribute to economic development?

The interaction between trade and competition policy is one of the so-called new issues in the WTO, addressing how domestic and international competition policy instruments, such as antitrust or competition laws, interact with international trade.

The relationship between trade and competition is well-established, complex and, from the point of view of some WTO Members, controversial. The economic crisis gripping the world has brought governments under increasing protectionist pressures and has once again raised calls from some quarters for greater coherence between trade and competition policies. But others question the extent to which such policies are indeed complementary. Eduardo Perez Mota, president of Mexico's Federal Competition Commission, discussed these complex issues with Keith Rockwell, WTO Spokesperson.

What is the role of the multilateral trading system on world food prices?

Price fluctuations are a normal feature of agricultural commodity markets. Nevertheless, the international food price spike in 2007-2008 generated concerns regarding the potential implications on poverty reduction and other issues. What is the role of the multilateral trading system on world food prices? Professor Scott Irwin, from the University of Illinois, and Dr. David Nabarro, Coordinator of the UN high Level Task Force on the food crisis, discuss this topic with Keith Rockwell, WTO Spokesperson.

This debate was recorded on the sidelines of the WTO Public Forum 2009. To learn more about the Public Forum: http://www.wto.org/english/forums_e/public_forum09_e/public_forum09_e.htm

WTO Forum - What is the role of WTO services rules in the context of the current financial crisis?

Proponents of open trade in services argue that the GATS, the General Agreement on Trade in Services, holds the potential to enhance efficiency and innovation around the world. But critics counter that market opening can also increase risks, especially in the financial system. Has the WTO's services agreement contributed to the crisis or is it a tool which can help create a more stable environment for international financial services? Myriam Vander Stichele, senior researcher at the Amsterdam-based Centre for Research on Multinational Corporations, and Sergio Marchi, senior fellow at the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development, discuss this topic with Keith Rockwell, WTO Spokesperson.
