Introducción
La Organización Mundial del Comercio puede verse desde distintas perspectivas: es una Organización para la apertura del comercio, un foro donde los Gobiernos pueden negociar acuerdos sobre comercio y un marco en el que los países pueden resolver sus diferencias comerciales. Además, administra el sistema mundial de normas comerciales y ayuda a los países en desarrollo a crear capacidad comercial. Fundamentalmente, la OMC es un lugar al que los Gobiernos Miembros acuden para tratar de resolver los problemas comerciales que tienen unos con otros.
Soutien au développement et renforcement des capacités commerciales
L’OMC s’efforce d’aider les pays en développement à renforcer leurs capacités commerciales et leur accorde des délais plus longs pour mettre en oeuvre les accords commerciaux. Des centaines de cours de formation sont organisés chaque année à l’intention des fonctionnaires de ces pays.
Apoyo al desarrollo y creación de capacidad comercial
Uno de los objetivos de la OMC es contribuir a la creación de capacidad comercial en los países en desarrollo, a los que concede un plazo más largo para aplicar los acuerdos comerciales. Cada año se organizan cientos de cursos de formación para funcionarios de países en desarrollo.

Report by Qatar
Since its last Trade Policy Review, Qatar has had to deal with a continuously evolving economic and political landscape, both at the global and the regional level. Some of these new trends reflect a shift in market fundamentals, including regulatory changes, whilst others are more specific to particular situations that, in some cases, are still unfolding. In response to this, Qatar, under the leadership of H.H. the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, continued to develop its foreign economic policy, including a realignment of its trade policy framework to the emerging realities on the ground. This included expanding Qatar’s export and import markets, establishing new shipping routes, developing domestic markets, implementing further trade facilitation measures, supporting and promoting foreign investment into the country, opening trade offices in the capital cities of key trading partners and continuing to complement the multilateral trading system through regional and bilateral cooperation agreements, amongst other initiatives. In this sense, the various situations faced by Qatar since 2014 (described in p. 96) led to the development its policy toolkit in order to meet its strategic development goals as well as its global commitments.

Report by Tonga
The Kingdom of Tonga became a member of the WTO on 27 July 2007. This is the country’s second Trade Policy Review (TPR), following its first in 2014. Tonga is a firm supporter of the rules-based multilateral trading system, which is of particular importance to very small economies that lack the administrative capacity to negotiate and maintain bilateral relationships with all of their trading partners. The Government of Tonga does not have a permanent representative in Geneva, and is represented in WTO matters by the Permanent Delegation of the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) in Geneva, and by Tonga’s High Commission in London.
