Trade monitoring
Introduction
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.
Contact with the business community
Engagement with the business community increased significantly in 2016. In May, the WTO facilitated a meeting of business leaders at the WTO’s headquarters at the request of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the B20, the business arm of the G20. The event was held as part of the WTO’s “Trade Dialogues” initiative, which aims to give stakeholders, including the business community, an opportunity to discuss trade concerns. A follow-up event was held at the WTO’s Public Forum, which attracted a large number of private sector representatives.
Contacts avec les médias
En 2016, l’OMC a organisé 49 événements de presse, y compris des conférences de presse et des réunions d’information, et elle a développé sa communication avec les journalistes au niveau mondial. En outre, les journalistes ont été invités à des séminaires, à des lancements de publications et au Forum public, l’événement phare de l’OMC en matière de communication. Six activités de formation ont été organisées à l’intention des journalistes, à Genève et ailleurs.
