Members explore ways of boosting developing economies’ integration into global trade

At a meeting of the Special Session of the Committee on Trade and Development held on 11 October, members discussed flexibilities being sought by developing economies relative to the WTO agreements on sanitary and phytosanitary measures, technical barriers to trade, trade-related investment measures and technology transfer to least-developed countries (LDCs). The discussions are based on proposals by the G90 group of developing economies and LDCs to support greater integration of developing members into global trade.
