“These are new times”, Mr. Ravier said. “A new
Director-General is in office, new Deputy Directors-General will soon
join the Secretariat and we are inaugurating new training rooms”.
He highlighted that in doubling the training capacity of the WTO
Secretariat, Members were implementing the Ministerial Decision
adopted by the WTO Ministerial Conference, held in November 2001 in
Qatar, to broaden the training activities which take place
simultaneously in the field, in Geneva, and through information
technology instruments.
Mr.
Ravier urged the participants to fully take advantage of their stay at
the WTO in order to become familiar with the work and functioning of
the WTO. By attending meetings, discussing with delegates and WTO
experts on issues related to the implementation of the WTO Agreements,
the participants would be able to establish a useful network of
contacts in Geneva and among the other participants of the course.
The
21st and 22nd WTO Residential Trade Policy Courses will end on 6 December 2002. The 12-week programme encompasses lectures on the WTO
Agreements, practical exercises and simulations, and covers several
other trade-related topics. The participants will attend meetings of
WTO bodies and visit other international organizations. Fifty-eight
trade officials from developing countries, countries with economies in
transition and least-developed countries are attending the courses (8
from the Caribbean and Latin America; 9 from economies in transition,
13 from Africa, 7 from Middle Eastern countries and 21 from Asia and
the Pacific). Thirteen participants come from least-developed
countries.
