Introduction
The Trade Policy Review Mechanism (TPRM) was first established on a trial basis by the GATT contracting parties in April 1989. The Mechanism became a permanent feature of the World Trade Organization under the Marrakesh Agreement which established the WTO in January 1995.
Concluding Remarks by the Chairperson of the Trade Policy Review Body, H.E. Mr. John Gero at the Trade Policy Review of Zambia 27 and 29 July
Zambia’s third Trade Policy Review (TPR) has been thorough and informative; it has given us a much better understanding of the trade and related policies and practices of Zambia together with the challenges it faces. I thank Minister Mutati and his delegation as well as the discussant Ambassador Feyder of Luxemburg and Members of the TPRB for contributing to our useful exchange of views. The reports by the Zambian authorities and the Secretariat as well as the detailed responses of the delegation of Zambia to the many questions posed have provided a valuable resource for transparency both within Zambia and as far as the WTO membership is concerned.
