Lamy calls on global co-operation for the smooth flow of trade
09/12/2010
Director-General Pascal Lamy, in the presenting his annual
report on developments in the international trading environment on 9 December
2010, said: “The global financial and economic crisis and the WTO’s
trade-monitoring exercise have shown the importance of increased transparency
for the smooth functioning of the multilateral trading system. Again, progress
in this area depends on active participation by all Members. The comprehensive,
accurate and neutral nature of the monitoring reports can be ensured only
through an active participation of all delegations. I would therefore like once
again to urge you all to continue actively participating in the monitoring
exercise through the timely provision of initial information and the subsequent
verification of individual measures.”
