 Mr.
Ravier welcomed the 28 trade officials on behalf of Mike
Moore, Director-General of the WTO. “In order to
deal with global issues, you have to be global
yourself”, Mr. Ravier said. He also referred to the
possible expansion of the WTO training capacity which is
presently being discussed by WTO Members in the context
of the budget preparation for 2001. Mr. Ravier also
highlighted the high interest that Mike Moore has placed
on activities aimed at increasing the capacity of
least-developed countries to participate in the
multilateral trading system.
Officials
from Armenia, Iran, the Russian Federation and Vanuatu
are participating for the first time ever in these
regular courses.
The
28 participants from developing countries and customs
territories will attend the 12-week course, which will
run until 8 December 2000. Since their inception in 1955,
93 residential trade policy courses have been organized
under the GATT and the WTO and close to 2000 officials
have participated in the training. In addition, a number
of short trade policy courses are also organized by the
WTO in the context of its technical cooperation
programme.
