The Trade Policy Review Mechanism (TPRM) was first established on a trial basis by the GATT CONTRACTING PARTIES in April 1989. The Mechanism became a permanent feature of the World Trade Organization under the Marrakesh Agreement which established the WTO in January 1995.
Concluding Remarks by the Chairperson of The Trade Policy Review Body, H.E. Mr. Mario Matus and He. Mr. Eduardo Muñoz Gómez at The Trade Policy Review of The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 25 and 27 January 2012
This first Trade Policy Review of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has given us a better understanding of the evolution of its trade and related policies since its accession to the WTO in 2005 and enabled us collectively to measure the challenges it faces in maintaining its economic prosperity. Our discussion has proved more engaging thanks to the full and open participation of the Saudi delegation led by H.E. Dr. Tawfiq Al-Rabiah Minister of Commerce and Industry and by the insightful remarks made by the discussant H.E. Ambassador Joakim Reiter of Sweden as well as the active participation by numerous Members.
