The Report gives extensive examination to the Doha Round of global trade
negotiations and states clearly that these talks hold significant
potential for raising levels of development in impoverished countries.
This is particularly true with respect to negotiations on agriculture
and non-agricultural market access.
The Report argues forcefully in favour of an intensified engagement in
the global trading system by all member governments. Without this
greater commitment and leadership from governments, there will be a
tendency to postpone the difficult political decisions that must be
taken if we are to have a successful Doha Round and a stronger global
trading system.
The Report also focuses on three issues of topical interest:
“South-South trade”, “non-oil commodity markets”, and “regional trade
agreements”. On each issue, the Report analyses developments over the
last few years, highlights their implications, and draws a number of
conclusions about the options facing governments.
