Trade monitoring
Quiénes somos
La OMC está dirigida por los Gobiernos de sus Miembros. Todas las decisiones importantes son adoptadas por la totalidad de los Miembros, ya sea por sus Ministros (que se reúnen por lo menos una vez cada dos años) o por sus Embajadores o delegados (que se reúnen regularmente en la sede de la OMC en Ginebra). Las decisiones normalmente se adoptan por consenso. La Secretaría de la OMC coordina las actividades de la OMC.
Overview
The overall objective of the WTO is to help its members use trade as a means to raise living standards, create jobs and improve people’s lives. The WTO operates the global system of trade rules and helps developing economies build their trade capacity. It also provides a forum for its members to negotiate trade agreements and to resolve the trade problems they face with each other.
What we stand for
Simple, fundamental principles form the foundations of the multilateral trading system. These principles have lain at the core of all WTO activities since its creation in 1995.
Who we are
The WTO is run by its member governments. All major decisions are made by the membership as a whole, either by ministers (who meet at least once every two years) or by their ambassadors or delegates (who meet regularly at the WTO’s headquarters in Geneva). Decisions are normally taken by consensus. The WTO Secretariat coordinates the activities of the WTO.
What we do
The WTO operates the global system of trade rules, guaranteeing WTO member governments important trade rights.
