Resumen

Descripción

We agree that special and differential treatment for developing countries shall be an integral part of all elements of the negotiations….” —Declaration from the World Trade Organization Ministerial Conference in Doha, Qatar, November 14, 2001 When this declaration was adopted eight years ago, there seemed to be a great deal of enthusiasm about this highly ambitious program. Today the mood has changed, and while concluding the negotiations may still be an achievable goal, it is clouded with uncertainty.
