Ayuda para el Comercio
El Tercer Examen Global de la Ayuda para el Comercio, celebrado los días 18 y 19 de julio de 2011, mostró que la asistencia relacionada con el comercio ha contribuido a mitigar la pobreza mediante la mejora de los resultados de exportación y del empleo. En 2009, los compromisos de Ayuda para el Comercio alcanzaron un valor aproximado de 40.000 millones de dólares EE.UU., lo que representó un incremento del 60 por ciento respecto del período de referencia de 2002-2005. Sin embargo, el examen también puso de manifiesto la necesidad de determinar la eficacia de la Ayuda para el Comercio y asegurar su constante compatibilidad con los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible.
Foreword by the WTO Director-General
The story of economic progress is a story of economic change. It is a story in which whole industries can rise and fall, replaced by new ideas and innovations, which demand new skills. This relentless process of transformation has built the global economy of today, bringing growing prosperity for billions of people around the world – and it has made the ability to adjust and adapt an essential element of economic success. Now, as before, individuals, firms and societies are striving to respond to rapidly evolving economic conditions in order to share in the benefits. The difference today is the remarkable speed at which these changes are occurring.
Introduction
Trade and output growth resumed in the second half of 2009 following record declines earlier in the year. The recovery through the first quarter of 2010 was insufficient to attain pre-crisis levels. The WTO has projected a further recovery in 2010 from the depressed levels of 2009, which should reverse some but not all of the impact of the trade collapse. One positive development in 2009 was the absence of any major increase in trade barriers imposed by WTO members in response to the crisis, despite high unemployment in many countries. The WTO system of trade regulation played a significant role in helping to prevent another descent into protectionism that so exacerbated economic conditions in the 1930s.
Appellate Body
Three appeals of panel reports were filed with the Appellate Body in 2010, out of a total of six panel reports for which the 60-day deadline for adoption or appeal expired during the year. All three appeals related to original panel proceedings. There were no appeals relating to compliance with earlier rulings and recommendations.
Introduction
La mondialisation est en train de transformer le développement. Par son ampleur et sa rapidité, l’essor récent du monde en développement est sans précédent, éclipsant celui des nouveaux pays industrialisés après la Seconde Guerre mondiale et celui de l’Europe et de l’Amérique du Nord à la fin du XIXe siècle. De nombreux facteurs expliquent le décollage économique du monde en développement. L’un des plus importants est son intégration dans l’économie mondiale, qui lui assure un nouvel accès aux marchés, à la technologie et à l’investissement. L’essor des économies en développement est l’une des quatre tendances récentes qui offrent de nouvelles possibilités de développement tout en créant de nouveaux défis. Il en va de même des trois autres tendances analysées ici: le développement des chaînes de production, le niveau élevé des prix des produits de base et l’interdépendance économique croissante.
