Concluding Remarks by the Chairperson of the Trade Policy Review Body, H.E. Mr. Eduardo Muñoz Gómez at the Trade Policy Review of Bangladesh 15 & 17 October 2012
The fourth Trade Policy Review of Bangladesh has considerably improved our understanding of Bangladesh’s trade and trade-related policies and practices and how they have evolved since 2006. We are grateful for the active participation of the Bangladesh delegation headed by H.E. Mr Md. Ghulam Hussain and the discussant, Ambassador Faizel Ismail, for his insightful remarks. I would also like to thank Members of the TPRB for contributing to the meeting’s useful exchange of views. Bangladesh’s response to the large number of questions is also much appreciated.
L’année en bref
En 2012, l’accession du Monténégro, de la Russie, du Samoa et du Vanuatu a porté à 157 le nombre de Membres de l’OMC. Le Conseil général a en outre approuvé l’accession du Laos et du Tadjikistan, qui ont ainsi pu devenir Membres au début de 2013. Les Membres de l’OMC ont poursuivi leurs efforts pour sortir de l’impasse les négociations du Cycle de Doha et ils ont tous exprimé le souhait de parvenir à un résultat positif à la neuvième Conférence ministérielle, qui se tiendra à Bali (Indonésie) du 3 au 6 décembre 2013.
Contactos con los medios de comunicación
La Décima Conferencia Ministerial contó con la asistencia de unos 350 periodistas, entre ellos 12 procedentes de países menos adelantados (PMA) cuya participación fue apoyada por la OMC. La OMC organizó diversas actividades de formación para periodistas, incluidos seminarios en Ginebra, y los funcionarios de prensa de la OMC participaron en varias actividades nacionales y regionales de proyección exterior. El número de reuniones de información y conferencias de prensa de la OMC aumentó a 53, frente a 42 en el año anterior, por el interés de los medios de comunicación en el 20º aniversario de la OMC y en el proceso preparatorio de la Conferencia Ministerial de Nairobi.

Trade in services
The Council for Trade in Services focused much of its work on electronic commerce, with WTO members exchanging information and considering a proposal for a seminar on the services aspect of this topic. A seminar was also proposed to discuss barriers to the cross-border movement of persons to provide services (mode 4). The Council continued addressing the services waiver, which allows for more favourable treatment to be given to least-developed countries.
