The World Trade Report 2014 looks at how four recent major economic trends have changed how developing countries can use trade to facilitate development: the economic rise of developing economies, the growing integration of global production through supply chains, the higher prices for agricultural goods and natural resources, and the increasing interdependence of the world economy. It also looks into what role the WTO can play.

Trade Policy Reviews Trade Policy Reviews analyse the trade policies and practices of every member of the World Trade Organization. As well as analysing by sector and by trade measure, the reports also look into the country’s wider economic environment. The reviews consist of three main parts: an independent report by the WTO Secretariat, a report by the government, and the concluding remarks by the Chair of the WTO’s Trade Policy Review Body following discussion of the review by the WTO membership. A key trade facts section at the front of the review provides a handy visual overview of the country’s major exports/imports, its main export destinations, the main countries of origin for its imports and other key economic data.

WTO Domestic Regulation and Services Trade

Aik Hoe Lim is a Counsellor in the Trade in Services Division of the WTO Secretariat, where he is Secretary to the body responsible for negotiating domestic regulation disciplines for services.

Lim and De Meester

Domestic regulation of services sectors has a significant impact on services trade liberalization, which is why General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) disciplines are negotiated in the WTO. With the help of analyses and case studies from academics, regulators and trade experts, this book explores the scope and limits of WTO legal principles to promote domestic regulatory reform. Case studies discuss country-specific challenges and experiences of regulating important service sectors, such as finance, telecommunications, distribution, legal, education, health, postal and logistics services, as well as the role of regulatory impact assessments. The findings will interest trade officials, policy-makers, regulators, think tanks and businesses concerned with the implications of domestic regulation on access to services markets, and with the opportunities for formulating trade disciplines in this area. It is also a useful resource for academics and students researching regulatory approaches and practices in services sectors.

This volume brings together these contributions from the 14 WTO chair-holders. It is divided into four sections, focusing on export diversification, the role of non-tariff measures, the rule of law in connecting to global markets, and the role of the Aid for Trade initiative in building trade capacity and overcoming supply side constraints. The contributions provide some powerful arguments in support of using trade policy instruments as an engine for growth and provide valuable insights into how developing countries can increasingly integrate into the multilateral trading system.

This multivolume series provides the full texts of panel reports, Appellate Body reports and arbitration awards issued by the WTO in 2012. It is an essential resource for all trade lawyers and students studying international economic or trade law. The series is produced annually. Cover illustration: © Danil Melekhin / iStockphoto.com.

WTO Domestic Regulation and Services Trade

However, these countries face a number of constraints in connecting to global markets. To obtain a better understanding of these constraints, the WTO invited the members of its academic network in developing countries – the WTO Chairs Programme – to identify major challenges in their respective countries and suggest ways to overcome them. In response, the WTO chair-holders contributed a set of papers to the WTO’s Annual Conference of the Chairs Programme and to the Global Review of Aid for Trade in July 2013.

Trade Profiles 2014 provides a snapshot summary of the most relevant indicators on growth, trade and trade policy measures on a country-by-country basis.

Services Profiles 2014 FORTHCOMING

WEB

Services Profiles 2014 provides key statistics on “infrastructure services”, i.e. transportation, telecommunications, finance and insurance, for some 150 economies.

The first part of the publication provides summary tables showing the average tariffs imposed by individual countries. The second part provides a more detailed table for each country, listing the tariffs it imposes on imports (by product group) as well as the tariffs it faces for exports to major trading partners. The profiles show the maximum tariff rates that are legally “bound” in the WTO and the rates that countries actually apply. This edition of World Trade Profiles has anti-dumping measures as its special topic, and includes a compilation of frequently asked questions.

The data provided include basic economic indicators (such as gross domestic product), trade policy indicators (such as tariffs, import duties, the number of disputes, notifications outstanding and contingency measures in force), merchandise trade flows (broken down by broad product categories and major origins and destinations), services trade flows (with a breakdown by major components) and industrial property indicators.

entre William Rappard was the first building in Geneva designed to house an international organization. Inaugurated in 1926 as the first headquarters of the International Labour Office, it has also housed over the years the Secretariat of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the library of the Graduate Institute of International Studies of Geneva. Currently the home of the World Trade Organization, this historic building houses many unique works of art donated by governments and institutions from around the world. Centre William Rappard: home of the World Trade Organization, Geneva provides a detailed account of the building and its works of art, why some of them were covered up and hidden away at various times, and how more recently they were rediscovered and put on display once again. The book also delves into the lives of some of the colourful characters from its early years, including Directors-General of the first organizations, as well as writers and even spies. Profusely illustrated with stunning full-colour and archival photos, Centre William Rappard pays tribute to the artistic and historical heritage of this cherished building in the heart of Geneva.

The world is complex. The World Trade Organization is complex. This booklet is brief, but it tries to reflect the complex and dynamic natures of trade and the WTO’s trade rules. It highlights some of the benefits of the trading system, but it doesn’t claim that everything is perfect—otherwise there would be no need for further negotiations and for the system to evolve and reform continually.

Centre William Rappard has played host to many historical events since it first opened its doors in 1926. Currently the home of the World Trade Organization, this historic building houses many unique works of art donated by governments from around the world. Centre William Rappard: Home of the World Trade Organization, Geneva provides a detailed account of the building and its works of art as well as an insight into the lives of some of the colourful characters from its early years.

48 • Centre William Rappard:

fountain with a statue named the “Blue Robed Bambino” by the British artist Gilbert Bayes was presented to the ILO by the National Sailors’ and Firemen’s Union (NSFU) of the United Kingdom in 1926. It was located in the inner courtyard of the Centre William Rappard until 2011, when it was moved due to renovation work. It is due to be repositioned in the surrounding park. The statue, also known as “Child with Fish”, is of a boy wearing a blue tunic and holding tenderly a green fish with oversized fins and the leaves of a water lily. Water flows from the fish’s mouth into a circular fountain. The boy is looking down while standing on a square pedestal in the centre of the fountain. On the base of the pedestal, two relief panels depict a sailing boat (on the front) and a steamship (on the back). Six additional water spouts in the shape of fish heads surround the fountain. The base is inscribed with “O stream of life run you slow or fast / all streams come to the sea at last” on the front, and “Presented by the National Sailors’ and Firemen’s Union – 1926” on the back. The name of the artist as well as the manufacturer Royal Doulton are carved on the side of the pedestal. The boy is aged four or five and is affectionately holding the fish in the same way a small boy would hug his favourite pet. Probably

influenced by Andrea della Robbia’s Renaissance ceramic work, Bayes’s “Blue Robed Bambino” is somewhat reminiscent of representations of the Madonna and Infant Jesus, albeit in a very different environment. The verse inscribed on the base was written by the artist, although there may have been some religious inspiration. 38 The implication is that all mankind, regardless of origin and deeds (“run you slow or fast”), are destined to “the sea at last”, that is eternal life. There is an obvious biblical reference to the role of Jesus as fisherman of souls as well as to the fraternity and common fate of the workers. “Blue Robed Bambino” is part of the children series created by Gilbert Bayes. “The Water Baby” (1927) and “The Mermaid” (1938) follow a similar theme. The first “Blue Robed Bambino” fountain was exhibited several times following its success at the Paris Exhibition 1925, where it was seen by of ILO Deputy Director Harold Butler. Butler later wrote to the NSFU, which commissioned Bayes to create the fountain statue for the Centre William Rappard.

The stone statue of the “Blue Robed Bambino” by Gilbert Bayes (1926), 1.06 m high, 30 cm wide. The ceramic base depicts a sailing boat and includes an inscription by the artist: “O stream of life run you slow or fast / all streams come to the sea at last”.

Gilbert Bayes (1872-1953)

ilbert Bayes, a renowned member of the New Sculpture movement in early twentieth-century England, was born in North London into a family of artists. He taught at Camberwell School of Art and by 1911 received the first of a series of significant commissions, the Great Seal for King George V. He gained public acclaim with his work entitled “Peace”, exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1917, followed by “War” one year later. He later joined the Art Workers Guild, of which he became Master in 1925. Bayes served as President of the Royal Society of British Sculptors during the 1930s. His best-known work is the ornate “Queen of Time” (1908), which supports the clock above the main entrance of Selfridge’s Department Store in Oxford Street, London. Bayes’s monumental frieze “Pottery through the Ages” (1939) is displayed at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. It is widely regarded as one of the best examples of British sculpture of the 20th century. Gilbert Bayes died on 10 July 1953.

Trade Profiles 2014 FORTHCOMING

International Trade Statistics 2014 provides a detailed overview of the latest developments in world trade, covering both merchandise and services trade as well as trade measured in valueadded terms. A key developments section at the start of each chapter uses charts and maps to illustrate the most important trends. More detailed data are provided in a variety of tables covering specific aspects of world trade up to the end of 2013. A chapter on methodology explains how the data are compiled. International Trade Statistics 2014 serves as an invaluable reference tool for researchers, policy makers and anyone interested in international trade.

WEB

Trade Profiles 2014 provides a snapshot summary of the most relevant indicators on growth, trade and trade policy measures on a country-by-country basis. The data provided include basic economic indicators (such as gross domestic product), trade policy indicators (such as tariffs, import duties, the number of disputes, notifications outstanding and contingency measures in force), merchandise trade flows (broken down by broad product categories and major origins and destinations), services trade flows (with a breakdown by major components) and industrial property indicators.

World Tariff Profiles 2014 FORTHCOMING

WEB

World Tariff Profiles 2014 provides a unique collection of data on tariffs imposed by WTO members and other countries. It is jointly published by the WTO, the International Trade Centre (ITC) and the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). The first part of the publication provides summary tables showing the average tariffs imposed by individual countries. The second part provides a more detailed table for each country, listing the tariffs it imposes on imports (by product group) as well as the tariffs it faces for exports to major trading partners. The profiles show the maximum tariff rates that are legally “bound” in the WTO and the rates that countries actually apply. This edition of World Trade Profiles has anti-dumping measures as its special topic, and includes a compilation of frequently asked questions.

Efforts to understand the dimensions of GVCs have spread across disciplines. This volume is the product of a dialogue with policy makers in the Asian region, where economists, political scientists, management specialists, development thinkers and business executives joined together in an exploration of the multiple dimensions of supply chains, what drives them, how they operate, how they adapt in a rapidly changing world, and what they mean for development and for policy.

Global value chains in a changing world Edited by Deborah K. Elms and Patrick Low

Elms and Low (eds)

Global value chains (GVC) are a major driving force of globalisation. They are an inevitable outgrowth of the application of transformative information and transport technologies, combined with new business models and largely open borders. The GVC phenomenon promotes integration on multiple levels. Today’s international production systems confound traditional ways of looking at investment, production, finance, information systems and technology. These can no longer be seen as separate, meriting distinct attention and discrete policy treatment. The international fragmentation of production has generated the opposite of fragmentation – a complex networked system of production and consumption with innumerable moving, interactive parts.

This book brings together contributions from the 14 WTO chair-holders of the first phase of the WTO Chairs Programme (2010 — 2014). The volume is divided into four sections, focusing on export diversification, the role of non-tariff measures, the rule of law in connecting to global markets, and the role of the Aid for Trade initiative in building trade capacity and overcoming supply side constraints. The contributions provide some powerful arguments in support of using trade policy instruments as an engine for growth and provide valuable insights into how developing countries can increasingly integrate into the multilateral trading system.

Trade and development: recent trends and the role of the WTO

05/08/2014 7:46:46 PM

The World Trade Report 2013 focuses on the factors that will influence world trade in the years to come. It looks at what has shaped global trade in the past and reviews how demographic change, investment, technological progress, developments in the transport and energy/natural resource sectors World Trade Report as well as tradeFactors shaping related policies and the future of world trade institutions affect international trade in various ways.

World Trade Report 2013

The world is changing with extraordinary rapidity, driven by many influences, including shifts in production and consumption patterns, continuing technological innovation, new ways of doing business and, of course, policy. The World Trade Report 2013 focuses on how trade is both a cause and an effect of change and looks into the factors shaping the future of world trade. One of the most significant drivers of change is technology. Not only have revolutions in transport and communications transformed our world but new developments, such as 3D printing, and the continuing spread of information technology will continue to do so. Trade and foreign direct investment, together with a greater geographical spread of income growth and opportunity, will integrate a growing number of countries into more extensive international exchange. Higher incomes and larger populations will put new strains on both renewable and non-renewable resources, calling for careful resource management. Environmental issues will also call for increasing attention.

Economic and political institutions along with the interplay of cultural customs among countries all help to shape international cooperation, including in the trade field. The future of trade will also be affected by the extent to which politics and policies successfully address issues of growing social concern, such as the availability of jobs and persistent income inequality. These and other factors are all examined in the World Trade Report 2013.

The World Trade Report 2012 World Trade ventures beyond Report 2012 tariffs to examine other policy measures that can affect trade. Regulatory measures for trade in goods and services raise new and pressing challenges for international cooperation in the 21st century. More than many other measures, they reflect public policy goals (such as ensuring the health, safety and well-being of consumers) but they may also be designed and applied in a manner that unnecessarily frustrates trade.

The ever-growing number of preferential trade agreements (PTAs) is a prominent feature of international trade. The World Trade Report 2011 describes the historical development of PTAs and the current landscape of agreements. It examines why PTAs are established, their economic effects, and the contents of the agreements themselves. Finally it considers the interaction between PTAs and the multilateral trading system.

On 1 January 2008 the multilateral trading system celebrated its 60th anniversary. The World Trade Report 2007 celebrates this landmark anniversary with an in-depth look at the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and its successor the World Trade Organization â&#x20AC;&#x201D; their origins, achievements, the challenges they have faced and what the future holds.

The World Trade Report 2006 focuses on how subsidies are defined, what economic theory can tell us about subsidies, why governments use subsidies, the most prominent sectors in which subsidies are applied and the role of the WTO Agreement in regulating subsidies in international trade. The Report also provides brief analytical commentaries on certain topical trade issues.

Global value chains (GVCs) have become ubiquitous. They are more studied and talked about than ever before. The many manifestations of international production sharing have become the organising theme for practically any discussion on production, trade, investment, development and international economic cooperation more generally. GVCs are at the economic heart of globalisation. Policies of governments are central to outcomes, influencing the establishment, configuration and operation of GVCs in numerous ways. Technological possibilities and firm behaviour are also crucial determinants of what happens in the supply chain world.

Global Value Chains in a Changing World

Albert Park Gaurav Nayyar Patrick Low

Globalization is widely seen as a powerful engine that has the potential to promote growth and development. For many years, however, concerns have also been raised about the effects of globalization on jobs and wages. This has led to questions about the social sustainability of globalization. This publication consists of contributions by leading academic experts who analyse the various channels through which globalization affects jobs and wages. Together, the nine chapters in this volume summarize state-of-the art knowledge on themes related to the social dimension of globalization.

Governments, Non-State Actors and Trade Policy-Making: Negotiating preferentially or multilaterally? Edited by Ann Capling and Patrick Low

Based on existing academic literature, complemented with new empirical research by the ILO and the WTO, the study discusses how trade reform affects different aspects of GLOBALIZATION AND INFORMAL the informal economy. JOBS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES It also examines how high rates of informal employment diminish the scope for developing countries to translate trade openness into sustainable long-term growth. ILO - WTO

World trade has expanded signiﬁcantly in recent years, making a major contribution to global growth. Economic growth has not led to a corresponding improvement in working conditions and living standards for many workers. In developing countries, job creation has largely taken place in the informal economy, where around 60 per cent of workers are employed. Most of the workers in the informal economy have almost no job security, low incomes and no social protection, with limited opportunities to beneﬁt from globalization.

This study focuses on the relationship between trade and the growth of the informal economy in developing countries. Based on existing academic literature, complemented with new empirical research by the ILO and the WTO, the study discusses how trade reform affects different aspects of the informal economy. It also examines how high rates of informal employment diminish the scope for developing countries to translate trade openness into sustainable long-term growth. The report analyzes how well-designed trade and decent-work friendly policies can complement each other so as to promote sustainable development and growing prosperity in developing countries.

GLOBALIZATION AND INFORMAL JOBS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

Using case studies from eight developing countries, this book presents the findings of a major international project that has investigated how non-state actors see their interests and seek to influence government policy in relation to preferential trade agreements and the WTO as alternative venues for trade cooperation.

Multilateralizing Regionalism: Challenges for the Global Trading System Edited by Richard Baldwin and Patrick Low Regional trade agreements (RTAs) have proliferated around the world in the past two decades, and now nearly all members of the WTO are party to at least one. Besides tariffs and rules of origin regulating trade in goods, many RTAs now include provisions on services, investments, technical barriers to trade and competition rules, as well as a host of issues not directly related to trade. The geographic reach of RTAs is expanding, with transcontinental agreements spreading forcefully alongside intra-regional agreements.

Challenges for Policy Research Prepared by Marion Jansen and Eddy Lee WEB

This study is the outcome of collaborative research between the WTO and the International Labour Office (ILO). It addresses an issue that is of concern to both organizations: the relationship between trade and employment. Its focus is on the connections between trade policies, TRADE AND EMPLOYMENT and labour and social policies, and it will be useful to all those who are interested in this debate: academics and policymakers, workers and employers, trade and labour specialists.

This study is the outcome of collaborative research between the Secretariat of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the International Labour Office (ILO). It addresses an issue that is of concern to both organizations: the relationship between trade and employment.

On the basis of an overview of the existing academic literature, the study provides an impartial view of what can be said, and with what degree of confidence, on the relationship between trade and employment, an often contentious issue of public debate. Its focus is on the connections between trade policies, and labour and social policies and it will be useful for all those who are interested in this debate: academics and policy-makers, workers and employers, trade and labour specialists.

CHALLENGES FOR POLICY RESEARCH

TRADE AND EMPLOYMENT CHALLENGES FOR POLICY RESEARCH

The proliferation of regional trade agreements (RTAs) over the past two decades has led to the relationships between regional and WTO rules or disciplines becoming increasingly complex. A major obstacle to advancing the understanding of RTAs is the absence of detailed information about their contents. Contributors provide analytical mappings of RTA rules in six key areas – market access, technical barriers to trade, contingent protection, investment, services and competition policy – across dozens of the main RTAs.

Managing the Challenges of WTO Participation 45 Case Studies Edited by Peter Gallagher, Patrick Low and Andrew L. Stoler WEB

This compilation of 45 case studies documents disparate experiences among economies in addressing the challenges of participating in the WTO. It demonstrates that success or failure is strongly influenced by how governments and private sector stakeholders organize themselves at home. These case studies demonstrate that the WTO creates a framework within which sovereign decision-making can unleash important opportunities or undermine the potential benefi ts flowing from a rules-based international environment that promotes open trade.

▶ Background

Trade Policy Reviews enable WTO members to examine collectively the trade policies and practices of individual members in all areas covered by the WTO agreements. Reviews are carried out by the Trade Policy Review Body (TPRB), which consists of the entire WTO membership. The Trade Policy Review Mechanism aims to encourage all WTO members to adhere to the WTO’s rules, disciplines and commitments, and thus to contribute to the smoother functioning of the multilateral trading system. By the end of 2009, 305 Trade Policy Reviews had been conducted, covering 136 of the 153 WTO members. Japan, the European Union and the United States had been reviewed nine times; Canada eight times; nine members (Australia; Brazil; Hong Kong, China; Indonesia; Republic of Korea; Norway; Singapore; Switzerland and Thailand) five times; eight members (Chile, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, South Africa and Turkey) four times; 28 members three times; and 38 members twice.

E-commerce in Developing Countries: Opportunities and challenges for small and medium-sized enterprises FREE

Trade, innovation and global production networks

WEB

E-commerce in Developing Countries focuses on the relationship between electronic commerce (e-commerce), development and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and on how some SMEs have used e-commerce in e-commerce to developing countries promote, market, service and sell their products nationally and internationally. 15 Years of the Information Technology Agreement

The Information and Technology Agreement (ITA) was finalized at the first WTO Ministerial Conference, in Singapore, in 1996, committing its participants to completely eliminate duties on certain information technology products. In its 15 years, the ITA has promoted affordable access to a wide range of technologies, encouraging closer cooperation between developed and developing countries. As production networks become increasingly global, the ITA will continue to facilitate the shift from products made in a specific country to “made in the world”.

To mark the 15th anniversary of the ITA, this publication charts the political and technical obstacles which were overcome during the creation of the Agreement and the issues which still need to be resolved. It details the establishment of the ITA Committee and how the Agreement is implemented, and investigates the impact the ITA has had on trade liberalization and innovation. The publication also examines the effect information technology has had on global production networks and what this means for developing countries and the ITA.

Trade and Poverty Reduction in the Asia-Pacific Region Case studies and lessons from low-income communities Edited by Andrew L. Stoler, Jim Redden and Lee Ann Jackson This book explores the complex relationship between international trade and poverty reduction through a combination of research papers and contemporary case studies. Written mainly by developingcountry authors in consultation with local businesses and communities, the case studies contribute to our understanding of the ways in which low-income communities are dealing with trade as a practical challenge, especially in the Asia-Pacific region where approximately two-thirds of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poor live.

Trade and Climate Change Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing the international community. Mitigating global warming and adapting to its consequences will require major economic investment and, above all, unequivocal determination on the part of all policymakers. This publication uniquely examines the intersection between trade and climate change from four different but correlated perspectives: the science of climate change, economic aspects, multilateral efforts to tackle climate change, and national climate change policies and their trade effect.

A Handbook on Reading WTO Goods and Services Schedules This is a detailed guide on how to read WTO Schedules of Commitments for Goods and Services. The Schedules are part of the Legal Texts of the WTO Uruguay Round Agreements. They comprise about 27,000 pages of specific commitments by the members of the WTO on market access conditions. Understanding how to interpret the Schedules is essential for anyone wishing to glean information for academic, official, or business purposes.

The Internationalization of Financial Services: Issues and Lessons for Developing Countries Stijn Claessens and Marion Jansen The internationalization of financial services is an important issue for strengthening and liberalizing financial systems in developing countries. There has been considerable support for the view that internationalization can assist countries in building financial systems that are more stable and efficient by introducing international standards and practices. At the same time, there have been concerns about the risks that internationalization may carry for some countries, particularly in the absence of adequate regulatory structures.

Tariff Negotiations and Renegotiations under the GATT and the WTO Anwarul Hoda The procedures and practices to implement the provisions relating to tariff negotiations and renegotiations have evolved considerably since the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was established in 1947. The provisions themselves have undergone some changes in the last 54 years. Professor Hoda reviews the evolution of these provisions and of the procedures adopted and practices followed by the contracting parties to GATT 1947 and the members of the WTO.
