Mr. Ravier welcomed on behalf of the WTO Secretariat the
30 trade officials from developing, least-developed
countries/customs territories and economies in
transition. "You are lucky to be here, not only
because these courses are one of the best products
offered by the WTO, but also because there were many
candidates who, like you, were very eager to be counted
in", Mr. Ravier said. He mentioned that these
courses were a good occasion to observe from inside the
work of the WTO and what goes on behind the scenes. It
should also be a very interesting year to be in the WTO
with the next Ministerial Meeting to take place at the
end of 2001.Mr.
Ravier referred to the situation faced by the WTO
Secretariat where the demand for training exceeds by far
the available financial and human resources. He also
highlighted the high interest that the WTO and the
Director-General have placed on activities aimed at
increasing the capacity of developing and in particular
least-developed countries to participate in the
multilateral trading system.
Officials
from Belarus, Dominica, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania,
Moldova and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia are
participating for the first time ever in these regular
courses.
The
12-week course will run until 6 April 2001. Since their
inception in 1955, 94 residential trade policy courses
have been organized under the GATT and the WTO and close
to 2,000 officials have participated in this training. In
addition, a number of short trade policy courses are also
organized by the WTO in the context of its technical
cooperation programme.
