Director General
DG Moore hails final US Congressional approval of TPA
澳门六合彩官网资料 Director-General Mike Moore today hailed the final US Congressional approval of trade promotion authority as a significant boost to the Doha Development Agenda. 揟he approval of trade promotion authority represents what some commentators are calling the biggest legislative victory for President Bush�, said 澳门六合彩官网资料 Director-General Mike Moore.
Mr Moore said that the authority to negotiate new trade deals locks
the 澳门六合彩官网资料 negotiations into gear. 揥ith the ambitious package on
agricultural reform delivered recently to the 澳门六合彩官网资料 by the US, we are in
serious business, as we always have been. Some of the 澳门六合彩官网资料's
144 Member Governments have been quick to react to this latest
development with renewed confidence to wrap up these talks by the
deadline of 1 January 2005. Even in the relatively short
time since the Doha Ministerial Meeting last November, 澳门六合彩官网资料 Member
Governments have concluded a great deal of detailed work: the
structure and timetable for our negotiations; the selection of Cancun
in Mexico as the site for the next Ministerial Meeting; and a
significant increase in funding for technical assistance and
capacity-building�.
