The proposed reduction of trade barriers in the Doha Round development negotiations will bring more market opportunities to the Philippines, visiting World Trade Organization (WTO) Director General Pascal Lamy said.


In his speech before local businessmen yesterday, Lamy said the Doha industrial tariff negotiation is looking at a sizeable reduction of high tariffs, tariff peaks and escalation which would result in the lowering of tariff barriers local exporters face.

                    [Summary] => The World Bank has expressed concern that developed countries may be using the US-Iraq conflict as an excuse to stall or derail world trade talks.


"Free trade, above all in agricultural goods, is very important for growth and fighting poverty in developing countries," World Bank president James D. Wolfensohn said.  "The rich countries have shown little willingness so far to improve access to their markets."
