Abstract

Speaking at the University of the West Indies, Jamaica, on 18 January 2016, Roberto Azevêdo, Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), drew attention to “some convergence” on the outstanding Doha issues, such as fisheries subsidies at the 10th Ministerial Conference of WTO in Nairobi. This is a wee bit of an improvement over “too little convergence” on the technical issues of fisheries subsidies and “virtually none” on the core substantive issues, as observed by the Chair, Negotiating Group on Rules in WTO, in a report, nearly five years before Nairobi.
