Trade in services
In 2014, the Council for Trade in Services focused to a great extent on the operationalization of the LDC services waiver. Services-related issues in electronic commerce also figured prominently on the agenda. Additionally, the Council debated recent developments in services trade and regulation raised by WTO members as well as transparency-related issues.
Introduction
En 2011, le commerce mondial des marchandises a augmenté de 5,0 pour cent en volume, tandis que la croissance de la production mondiale a été de 2,4 pour cent. Ces chiffres traduisent un net ralentissement par rapport à l’année 2010, où le commerce avait augmenté de 13,8 pour cent et la production de 3,8 pour cent (voir la figure 1.1).

Report by the United States
As the United States Government undergoes its fourteenth Trade Policy Review—more than any other World Trade Organization (WTO) Member—the United States is committed to reforming the global trading system in ways that lead to fairer outcomes for U.S. workers and businesses, and more efficient markets for countries around the world. U.S. trade policy is driven by a pragmatic determination to use the leverage available to the world’s largest economy to secure these objectives. Our trade policy is steadfastly focused on the national interest, including retaining and using U.S. sovereign power to act in defense of that interest.
