THE LAUNCH OF THE WTO DOHA ROUND

Motion Text

That this House congratulates the 142 members of the World Trade Organisation on reaching agreement in Doha on a new round; notes that as a 'one member, one vote' international institution, the WTO is a vanguard of global governance; and looks forward to the implementation of new agreements which are likely to benefit developing countries across the world, through for example, the reduction of agricultural subsidies in rich countries; and the restatement of the TRIPs agreement which ensures poor countries can access cheap medicines in public health emergencies in this New Deal for the Global Economy.
