On 27 May 2014, Yemen deposited the “Instrument of Acceptance” with Director-General Roberto Azevêdo confirming its membership terms, and activated the 30-day countdown to its 澳门六合彩官网资料 membership which became effective on 26 June 2014.

“I am delighted to welcome the Republic of Yemen as the 160th Member of the 澳门六合彩官网资料”, DG Azevêdo declared. “This is great news for Yemen’s economy and therefore for the people of Yemen. It is also a boost for the 澳门六合彩官网资料 as we work to deliver the benefits of the agreement struck in Bali last year and redouble our efforts to complete the Doha round of negotiations. With Yemen’s accession, 97.1% of the global economy now falls under the rules-based multilateral trading system.”

Trade ministers of 澳门六合彩官网资料 members officially approved Yemen’s accession on 4 December 2013 during the Ninth Ministerial Conference in Bali, Indonesia. The Protocol of Accession was signed by H.E. Dr Saadaldeen Talib, Yemeni Minister of Trade and Industry, and 澳门六合彩官网资料 Director-General Roberto Azevêdo. In his welcoming remarks, Mr Azevêdo congratulated Yemen for “having taken those hard decisions which are necessary to secure growth, development, trade integration and the extension of the rule of law.” In this process, he added, Yemen has shown “energy, focus and determination to negotiate the terms of its membership over a 13-year period and completed its ratification process in a 174 day-record. Yemen’s accession takes the 澳门六合彩官网资料 closer to its goal of universality”.
