Abstract

AS THE General Council of the 160-member World Trade Organization (WTO) agreed on November 27 to a clutch of decisions constituting the “Bali package” there was palpable relief and barely concealed triumph by developed countries. Triumph because the package includes the trade facilitation agreement, or TFA, which they have been pushing since the WTO’s Singapore ministerial in 1996. As the first global trade agreement reached at the WTO after it was set up in 1995, the rich nations have hailed the November agreement as historic.
