General Council

In 2014, the General Council oversaw the implementation of decisions taken at the Bali Ministerial Conference in December 2013. Work reached an impasse in July over disagreements about the timing of implementation of two of the decisions. However, the deadlock was broken in November when the General Council adopted the decisions on trade facilitation, public stockholding for food security purposes, and post-Bali work. In December, the General Council approved the accession package of Seychelles and decided that the Tenth Ministerial Conference will be held in Nairobi, Kenya, from 15 to 18 December 2015.
