Concluding Remarks by the Chairperson of The Trade Policy Review Body, H.E. Mr. Eduardo Muñoz Gómez at The Trade Policy Review of China 12 and 14 June 2012

This fourth Trade Policy Review (TPR) of China has provided Members an opportunity to conduct a collective appreciation and evaluation of the full range of China’s trade policies and practices and their impact on the functioning of the multilateral trading system. I wish to thank the Chinese delegation, headed by H.E. Mr. Yu Jianhua, Assistant Minister in the Ministry of Commerce, for their active participation and H.E. Ambassador Steffen Smidt of Denmark for his valuable contribution as the discussant. The keen interest shown by Members in this Review, as reflected in the large number of statements made and of advance written questions posed, testifies to the important role played by China in international trade and in the WTO. The TPRB appreciates China’s responses to the questions it received, and looks forward to receiving any outstanding answers within a month.
