La Ronda Uruguay
Reflexiones de los principales participantes
La conclusión satisfactoria de la Ronda Uruguay en 1994 dio origen a la mayor reforma del sistema mundial de comercio desde el establecimiento del Acuerdo General sobre Aranceles Aduaneros y Comercio (GATT) al final de la segunda guerra mundial. La Ronda se lanzó en septiembre de 1986 en Punta del Este (Uruguay) y congregó a 123 países con el objetivo de ampliar el sistema de comercio a varios nuevos ámbitos, entre ellos el comercio de servicios y la propiedad intelectual, y de reformar el comercio en sectores sensibles, como la agricultura. La firma del Acta Final en Marrakech (Marruecos) en abril de 1994 condujo a la creación de la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) el 1 de enero de 1995. Para conmemorar el 40º aniversario del inicio de la Ronda Uruguay, esta publicación reúne contribuciones de algunos de los principales actores que tomaron parte en el éxito de la Ronda. Los colaboradores, procedentes de todo el mundo, comparten sus recuerdos personales de las negociaciones y sus reflexiones sobre la importancia de la Ronda.

The Uruguay Round
Reflections by key players
The successful conclusion of the Uruguay Round in 1994 brought about the biggest reform of the world’s trading system since the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was created at the end of the Second World War. The Round was launched in September 1986 in Punta del Este, Uruguay, bringing together 123 countries to extend the trading system into several new areas, including trade in services and intellectual property, and to reform trade in sensitive sectors, such as agriculture. The signing of the Final Act in Marrakesh, Morocco, in April 1994 led to the establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO) on 1 January 1995. To mark the 40th anniversary of the launch of the Uruguay Round, this publication brings together contributions from some of the key players in the successful conclusion of the Uruguay Round. The contributors – from around the globe - share their personal recollections of the negotiations and reflect on the significance of the Round.
