An important task facing the WTO is that of making the new multilateral trading system truly global in scope and application. The 140 Members of the WTO (as of 31 December 2000) account for more than 90% of world trade. Many of the nations that remain outside the world trade system have requested accession to the WTO and are at various stages of a process that has become more complex because of the WTO’s increased coverage relative to GATT. With many of the candidates currently undergoing a process of transition from centrallyplanned to market economies, accession to the WTO offers these countries - in addition to the usual trade benefits -a way of underpinning their domestic reform processes.
