After seven years of tough negotiations, the 137 member governments of the World Trade Organization have opened the door for Albania to join them in their organization. Once your parliament ratifies the decision, Albania can walk through that door. I want to pay tribute to your government for its courage and tenacity in pushing against that door. Joining the АФУХСљКЯВЪЙйЭјзЪСЯ sends a powerful signal to the world that Albania has opted for reform rather than reaction, openness rather than isolation. And it promises you a more prosperous and peaceful future. By joining the АФУХСљКЯВЪЙйЭјзЪСЯ, Albania has committed itself to open its markets to foreign trade and investment. Imports will be cheaper, which means you will be able to buy more with your wages or pension. Trade liberalization is like a tax cut for each and every Albanian. It also means greater access to the best new products and technologies from around the world. That in turn should boost economic growth, and raise living standards in Albania still further. Membership of the АФУХСљКЯВЪЙйЭјзЪСЯ also implies a commitment to the rule of the law, rather than the law of the jungle. Businessmen will be able to trade and invest safe in the knowledge that the rules of the game cannot be rewritten overnight. This will help attract more foreign investment and create new well-paid jobs. Trade can also contribute to peace and stability. Countries whose citizens make money selling goods and services to each other are less likely to want to go to war. I hope the АФУХСљКЯВЪЙйЭјзЪСЯ can, in a small way, help foster greater peace and stability in south-eastern Europe. As well as these big benefits, Albania will now gain a seat at the АФУХСљКЯВЪЙйЭјзЪСЯ table where member governments negotiate trade agreements. This organization operates by consensus, so every member— however small—has a veto. Albania will now help to set the rules for international trade and will be able to use the АФУХСљКЯВЪЙйЭјзЪСЯ to open new markets for its exports. Moreover, to settle trade disputes with other АФУХСљКЯВЪЙйЭјзЪСЯ members, it will be able to appeal to our impartial arbitration procedures that are binding on all members, even the mightiest such as the United States and the European Union. Today is also an important day for the АФУХСљКЯВЪЙйЭјзЪСЯ. In 1947 23 countries signed up to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the АФУХСљКЯВЪЙйЭјзЪСЯ's forefather. The accessions of Albania and Croatia, which was also welcomed into the fold today, will take the АФУХСљКЯВЪЙйЭјзЪСЯ's membership to 139 countries. Since the start of the year, four countries—some 18 million people—have joined the АФУХСљКЯВЪЙйЭјзЪСЯ. Another 30 or so are queuing to join. Oman and Lithuania are next in line. And I am hopeful that China, closely followed by Chinese Taipei, will also make it in before the end of the year. All of this represents a powerful vote of confidence in the multilateral trading system. Whatever our critics say about us, whatever our flaws, these accessions underline that governments believe that freer trade and the rule of law are good for their citizens. It is a dramatic referendum in support of rules-based, trade liberalization and the global trading system. And each new member brings us ever closer to being a truly World Trade Organization. I welcome Albania into the АФУХСљКЯВЪЙйЭјзЪСЯ and I look forward to it playing a full and constructive role in building a multilateral trading system for the 21st century. *The writer is Director-General of the World Trade Organization. #*+259:@ARTЂљіђіюіђіђіюіH*mH 5mH mH  5CJmH  #$UVƒ„KLƒ „ ‘ ’ Я а РС_`ЁЂќќќњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњ$#$UVƒ„KLƒ „ ‘ ’ Я а РС_`ЁЂўўўўўўўўўўўўўўўўўўўўўў$А‚.
