Objective of presentationThe objective of this presentation is to provide an overview of the
workings of the World Trade Organization. Given the limitations of time, the
presentation can not be comprehensive in the sense of dealing with all the
concepts, principles and rules of the WTO. Nevertheless, the intention is to
provide an overview of its functioning in order to provide a good understanding
of its basic tasks.
The structure of the presentation is to first review the principles that
govern the work of the WTO as well as the background that led to its creation. The
presentation then turns to the main agreements of the WTO and the obligations
they contain. It addresses how the process of liberalization is achieved in the
various areas of world trade. The role and outcome of the different
ministerial meetings is described, with particular attention being paid to the
meeting in Doha, the launching of the Doha Development Agenda, and the
stocktaking exercise at the Cancun Ministerial Meeting. The presentation closes
with a series of most frequently asked questions. I hope you enjoy the
presentation.
