WTO Cancun: chat on-line with Pascal Lamy

The WTO Cancún Ministerial Conference, 10-14 September, represents the half way point in the work of the Doha Development Agenda, and is a key staging post towards completion of this multilateral trade round by the end of 2004. It is the EU's number one trade priority. EU Trade Commissioner Pascal Lamy said: «The successful outcome of this trade round will boost global economic growth by further opening trade and investment and by the dynamic economic gains that strengthened WTO rules will bring. But just as important, it has to ensure that developing countries are truly part of the world trade system»
