• The Sps Agreement

Although import duties on many agricultural products have been dropped or waived as part of preferential trading agreements, farmers in developing countries are facing new challenges to selling their products around the world. The World Trade Organization Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures () aims to provide the balance between the right of governments to protect food safety, plant and animal health, and prevent these sanitary and phytosanitary measures from being unjustified trade barriers. Following regular discussions to ensure that developing countries fully benefit from and receive assistance in meeting their obligations, the SPS Committee has adopted a procedure whereby developing countries may request special and...

• Bringing Down the Barriers: Helping Small Exporters in Developing Countries Adapt to New Global Trade Conditions

How to overcome the difficulties of small to medium-size enterprises (SMEs) taking up global market opportunities was central to discussions at an ITC-moderated session at the WTO Public Forum in September, where two key messages emerged. The first was the need for the WTO to engage the private sector by keeping pace with the evolution of business practices; the second was the critical role the WTO can play in providing transparency, predictability and legal certainty to SMEs in developing countries. While the proliferation of private standards is difficult to address, the WTO -- through the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade -- provides a good basis for raising the issues and resolving disputes.

• Good Governance Opens New Doors to Advocacy

Good governance in trade policy provides legitimate channels of access to decision-makers, not only for business, but also for other groups -- women, consumers, environmental protection activists and so on. To be transparent and inclusive, the process has to include open debate to resolve inevitable conflicts of interest, lay down common positions and establish what Prof Michel Kostecki, consultant on business advocacy to ITC, calls the "community of interests". As discussions between groups move from the specific to the general, they begin to identify common ground for devising positions they can communicate to government negotiators. Good governance on trade policy also requires inclusiveness, bringing in voices that may seldom be heard. The essential is to be able to tread the fine l...
