El Sr. Ravier dio la bienvenida a los 28 funcionarios encargados de cuestiones comerciales en nombre del Sr. Mike Moore, Director General de la OMC, y declaró que para tratar los problemas mundiales, uno mismo debía tener una visión mundial de las cosas. También hizo referencia a la posibilidad de aumentar la capacidad de la OMC en materia de formación, cuestión que está siendo examinada actualmente por los Miembros de la OMC en el contexto de la preparación del presupuesto para 2001. Asimismo, el Sr. Ravier subrayó el vivo interés que tiene el Sr. Mike Moore por las actividades destinadas a aumentar la capacidad de los países menos adelantados para participar en el sistema multilateral de comercio.

Participan por primera vez en estos cursos regulares funcionarios de Armenia, el Irán, la Federación de Rusia y Vanuatu.

Los 28 participantes procedentes de países en desarrollo y territorios aduaneros asistirán al curso que durará 12 semanas, hasta el 8 de diciembre de 2000. Desde su inicio en 1955, se han organizado en el GATT y la OMC 93 cursos regulares de política comercial en los que han participado cerca de 2000 funcionarios. Además, la OMC organiza también una serie de cursos de política comercial de corta duración en el contexto de su programa de cooperación técnica.
