Statement by Senator the Honourable Marlene Malahoo Forte Minister of State Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade of JAMAICA Tuesday, 1st December 2009. My fellow global citizens, Although Jamaica’s share of world trade is a miniscule 0.02%, trade constitutes a massive share of our GDP – accounting for over 98%. That is why Jamaica continues to actively participate in the work of the АФУХСљКЯВЪЙйЭјзЪСЯ. We are also fully cognizant of the vital importance of a rules-based international trading system, moreso in the context of the current global economic crisis. However, there are serious deficiencies in the modus operandi of the АФУХСљКЯВЪЙйЭјзЪСЯ. Consequently, Jamaica has joined with other countries to propose substantive and procedural changes. We commend these proposals to all members. They will inure to the benefit of all. Jamaica has been fully engaged in the Doha Round negotiations since their inception. We remain committed to a successful outcome. In this regard, we fully support the communiquщ and declaration of the ACP Group, the Declaration of the Informal Group of Developing Counties, the G33 Communiquщ and statements made by other Members of our Caribbean Community (CARICOM). The work at the centre- in relation to the Doha Round – is its completion in a balanced and equitable manner. The challenge we face her is how to successfully complete the Doha Round by the target date of 2010 in the presence of disengagement and the absence of commitment by some major players. If development is to be genuinely at the heart of this Round, it cannot simply be about greater market access. The demand for more market access by some will mean less development for others; while more development for others does not translate into less market access for some. My fellow global citizens, I call your attention to the plight of small, vulnerable, highly indebted middle income countries, such as Jamaica. Our needs are well known. We require greater flexibilities. We require Special & Differential Treatment. We require the arrangements and mechanisms essential for us to attain our development goals. We must not be handicapped in our efforts to promote economic growth, poverty alleviation, social development, rural development and greater integration into the global economy. The much touted benefits of trade liberalization have not materialized for some of us. In fact, in the case of my own country, Jamaica, imports have grown disproportionately to exports. My fellow global citizens, Trade which does not result in development is meaningless. We are not trading simply for the sake of trading. We are trading to improve our wellbeing. This is the promise of Doha. We can and must deliver!!
