This fourth Trade Policy Review of the Plurinational State of Bolivia has provided us with the opportunity to deepen our understanding of its trade and investment policies and in particular regarding the reforms introduced since the last Review in 2005. I would like to thank the delegation from Bolivia led by Ambassador Clarems Endara Vice-Minister of Foreign Trade and Integration for its constructive engagement throughout this exercise. I would also like to thank our discussant Ambassador Francisco Lima Mena from El Salvador for his interesting and thought-provoking remarks as well as the 28 delegations which took the floor the first day for their active participation in this Review. Members were pleased to participate in the fourth Trade Policy Review of Bolivia which is taking place 12 years after the previous Review.
