°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ

“To the Heart of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ” seeks to shed light on how this works, through the experience and motivations of two very different countries: Brazil, a large developing nation, and Norway, a small but economically advanced state. Both have significant trade interests to promote and are active in the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ.

While there is general awareness that the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ provides a basis for reconciling diverging trade interests through negotiation and dialogue, many people do not fully understand how the organization functions on a practical level. Moreover, there has been a need to better illustrate the complex process undertaken by governments as they weigh the interests of their constituents and develop their negotiating positions.

How do fishermen, farmers, industrialists, members of civil society and trade unionists view the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ? What do they expect from their national representatives — ambassadors in Geneva and ministers in capitals? They all have a view of their national priorities in the current °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ trade negotiations, the Doha Development Agenda. Can all these priorities be met? This video shows how the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ works toward a result which will benefit all its Member governments and the citizens they represent.
