The road from Doha to Hong Kong in the WTO agricultural negotiations: a developing country perspective
讨论了2004年7月框架协议及后续谈判中发展中国家在农业谈判中的攻防利益被满足的程度,指出协议虽原则上接受其诉求,但缺乏具体操作细节,难以评估实际意义。
Developing countries have both offensive and defensive interests in the Doha Round of WTO trade negotiations. This paper discusses the extent to which these interests have been addressed in the July 2004 Framework Agreement and in the subsequent negotiations. Many of the key demands of developing countries appear to have been accepted in principle in the Agreement, but the lack of specific details on how most of these principles will be operationalised makes it hard to evaluate their real significance. Progress is needed on the development dimension of the negotiations if the Hong Kong Ministerial Council meeting is to succeed.
