The Rules Negotiations
WTO Members agreed at the Doha Ministerial Conference to launch negotiations in the area of “WTO Rules”. These negotiations relate to the following subject matter: the Agreement on Implementation of Article VI of GATT 1994 (better known as the Anti-dumping Agreement); the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures and, in this context, WTO disciplines on fisheries subsidies; and WTO provisions applying to regional trade agreements.
