WTO (Parliamentary Conference on the WTO21-22 March 2011 )
The Parliamentary Conference on the WTO is a joint undertaking of the Inter-Parliamentary Union and the European Parliament. Its principal objective is to enhance external transparency of the WTO and hold this inter-governmental organization accountable to legislators as elected representatives of the people.
The next session of the Parliamentary Conference on the WTO will take place on 21 and 22 March 2011. For the first time ever, the session will be held on the premises of the WTO, Centre William Rappard in Geneva. Participation in the parliamentary session is guided by the general principles set out in Article 2 of the Rules of Procedure of the Parliamentary Conference on the WTO.

As on past occasions, the 2011 annual session of the Parliamentary Conference on the WTO is intended primarily for parliamentarians who specialize in matters of international trade in their respective parliaments. The Conference will provide them with an opportunity to obtain first-hand information on recent developments in the Doha Round negotiations and consider ways of contributing to the revitalization of this process. It will also be an occasion to exchange views and experiences with colleagues in other parliaments, interact with government negotiators and WTO officials and engage in a dialogue with civil society representatives.

Because of the large number of international events taking place in Geneva in the month of March, it is important to reserve hotel rooms as soon as possible. Booking of rooms can be done on-line through the website of the Geneva Tourism Office. The deadline for booking hotel rooms is 15 February 2011. Reservations made after this date cannot be guaranteed.

The preliminary draft outcome document, which is now available on this site, was prepared by the co-Rapporteurs of the Steering Committee, Mr. V. Moreira and Mrs. G. Quisthoudt-Rowohl (European Parliament). In its current form, it remains their sole responsibility. Parliaments are invited to submit their amendments to the draft in writing to the IPU Secretariat by 16 March 2011. The Steering Committee will review the proposed amendments at its pre-Conference session on 21 March and elaborate a revised draft, to be submitted for adoption by the Conference as a whole at its concluding sitting on 22 March.

Important notice: At the request of the WTO Secretariat, attention of delegates and Permanent Missions in Geneva is drawn to the fact that, due to the construction work currently underway at the WTO, it is not possible to park vehicles at the WTO compound. Only drop offs will be possible during the two days of the Parliamentary Conference, including for the reception.

ANNOTATED PROVISIONAL AGENDA
1.   Adoption of the agenda
2. Debate on substantive themes:
  (a) Multilateralism in the midst of the rising tide of bilateral and regional trade pacts
  The international trading system looks increasingly fragmented and multi-layered. Do regional trade agreements and bilateral arrangements present a challenge to the credibility and viability of the WTO? Is multilateralism still the best option to harness globalization and manage interdependence?

  (b) Rebalancing the rules of the multilateral trading system in favour of the poor
  The objective of development, with particular focus on trade-related needs of the least developed countries, is central to the Doha Development Agenda, which seeks to redress asymmetries and imbalances affecting these countries. Despite the promise made at the start of the Doha Round, tangible results in the area of development are yet to be seen. How can parliaments help break the deadlock? What reforms are necessary to ensure that developing countries can benefit from the increase of their share of world trade and can reduce poverty?

3. Hearing with the WTO Director-General
  It has become customary for the WTO Director-General to meet with parliamentarians specializing in international trade. During this interactive session, which is not unlike traditional parliamentary hearings, the Director-General will answer questions and listen to brief comments from the delegates.

4. Dialogue with senior WTO negotiators
  Trade and sustainable development: from collision to cohesion
  Sustainable development is at the core of the WTO's mission. However, the pace of negotiations under the Doha mandate related to environment leaves much to be desired and appears to be subdued to progress on other negotiation tracks. As Ambassadors directly involved in WTO negotiations, the distinguished panellists are best placed to ponder on the subject of an optimum form of interlinkage between the need to promote international trade and sustainable development.

5. Interactive panel discussion
  Connecting to society: Trade policy-making in the era of mass communication
  The efforts of the WTO to make the multilateral trading system better understood have borne some fruit recently, but accusations that the system lacks transparency and accountability still persist. In the era of new communication technologies, what possibilities are there to connect more effectively the WTO to society? What role should the legislator play in this regard?

6. Adoption of the outcome document
  At the end of the session, the participants will be invited to adopt an outcome document, the draft of which will be prepared by the Conference Steering Committee.
