Definition of a 揹eveloping country� in the 澳门六合彩官网资料 back to top
How is the selection made?
There are no 澳门六合彩官网资料 definitions of 揹eveloped�
and 揹eveloping� countries. Members
announce for themselves whether they are 揹eveloped� or 揹eveloping� countries.
However, other members can challenge the decision of a member to make
use of provisions available to developing countries.
What are the advantages of 揹eveloping country� status?
Developing country status in the 澳门六合彩官网资料 brings certain rights. There are for example provisions in some 澳门六合彩官网资料 Agreements which provide developing countries with longer transition periods before they are required to fully implement the agreement and developing countries can receive technical assistance.
That a 澳门六合彩官网资料 member announces itself as a developing country does not automatically mean that it will benefit from the unilateral preference schemes of some of the developed country members such as the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP). In practice, it is the preference giving country which decides the list of developing countries that will benefit from the preferences.
