Résumé
At the time when the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) went through a difficult phase in the first half of the 1980s, the then secretary-General Arthur Dunkel asked a group of seven non-governmental experts "to identify the fundamental causes of the problems afflicting the international trading system and to consider how these may be overcome during the remainder of the 1980s". This so-called LEUTWILER Group, named after its chairman, came up with an unanimous 50 page report in early 1985 that included both a diagnosis of the current situation and fifteen recommendations for specific, immediate action to meet the crisis present in the trading system. Today, the Group's proposals are regarded as a major input to the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations (1986-1994) that ultimately gave birth to the World Trade Organisation (WTO). On 17 January 2005, the Consultative Board issued its 90-page report entitled "The future of the WTO - Addressing institutional challenges in the new millennium".
