Contact with parliamentarians

The 2016 Parliamentary Conference on the WTO was held on the theme of “What Future for the WTO?” The participants welcomed the successful outcome of the Nairobi Ministerial Conference and stressed that mega regional trade agreements should work alongside multilateral accords. Parliamentarians hailed the ministerial decision on export competition as the most significant step adopted by the WTO in agriculture. The WTO organized several regional workshops with parliamentarians during the year to increase understanding of the multilateral trading system.
