Abstract

In this paper Oxfam believes that if NAMA negotiations continue along their current lines, they will a)prevent developing countries from pursuing effective industrial policies, jeopardising their development strategies; b) increase the risk to developing countries of de-industrialisation, unemployment, environmental degradation, and worsening poverty; c) fail to address the issue of Northern protectionism, thus missing the opportunity to contribute towards poverty reduction through improved market access for developing countries; d) fail to uphold the principle of `differential treatment' and the promise of `less than full reciprocity' for developing country members. This paper explains these concerns, and makes recommendations for putting the negotiations on a development track.
