2210:. An other one concerning TRIPS: In the process of implementing a "Software Patents" Directive in Europe the EU-commission claimed that Software Patents where a reqiurement in TRIPS where it was their own interrest to establish this directive they could make it look like it was an external requirement. Another thing: Just Look at all the Protests against the WTO meetings and the protest against the treaties proposed there (GATS etc..etc.) These Protests show that what is dealt out in the WTO process is often not very popular among people. Thus it should be obvious the the WTO is often use to implement unpopular politics. Yet the lack of transparancy of the process makes it hard to pinpoint who is responsible for some regulation or an other. Sure a lot is not directly done in the offical WTO negotiation but in "backroom-deals" that surround the negotiations. 2678:, noting that the site offers no helpful information on the subject of the WTO, and that the IP editors gave their link the misleading title 'International Trade Debates'. The guidelines suggest taking such a potentially controversial issue to the Talk page before pursuing administrative intervention. My guess is that there is more to come from the pro-Iran lobbyist(s). If we accept this, we would logically also need to link the article to similar advocacy from 30 other non-member countries which have observer status at the WTO. Cheers 377:

everything from suing the Canadian government for making perfectly accurate but financially damaging comments about the serious environmental impact of the production processes employed by a particular company (and its products themselves) to preventing whistleblowers revealing information of vital importantce to the public about failures to repair the infrastructure of rail networks. For the Knowledge to extend such censorship to deleting the entire section on criticisms of the WTO would run seriously counter to the public interest.

more complex than the current). I think that the 3 year period is a good enough point in time for classification a negotiation "forzen". Also the new categories would better reflect realities - not lumping Eq.Guinea (due to start negotiations 2007 at the latest as per the "no more than 5 years after becoming observer" rule of the WTO - see Members&Observers note at their site) with Syria. Also it would be better to use more differentating colors, not just gradiations between green and yellow (better for visibility).

that we don't necessarily need to get ALL of the French overseas territories...), shouldn't we consider amending this? I realize that it is considered an "outermost territory" and all, but considering how every other article on the subject of the EU appears to count French Guyana as a valid part, I fail to see how this disqualifies it for striped colouring. I don't really know for sure though. What do you guys have to say?

350: 295: 345: 2415:

international treaties are negotiated. As everyone knows most of the negotiation is done in green room talks and thus without any transparancy. We can conclude: the WTO negotations are a prefect place if there is a need for a policy to be launderd. I quoted quite a few sources that indicate that this happend with some WTO treaties like TRIPS. Btw: which weasel word did you find?

Cheers,

recent negotiation activity. Also there is a table showing these most recent activities. So we can not state that these levels of participation are irrelevant. It is obvious that not all "negotiating observers" are the same - the "frozen" Bahamas, etc. are clearly different from "active" Ukraine, Vietnam, etc. and it would be good if we depict that distinction.

670:"other style" represents states with application, but no approval yet, better. In contrast the description in the WTO article below the "your style" image is wrong - gray-colored Syria HAS official interaction with the WTO, even if it is not observer - it has OFFICAILY lodged applications multiple times. 1957:

I have removed the {{nofootnotes}} tag from the References section as it is inappropriate - the article contains a huge number of in-text citations. The comment with the tag was "Need to use footnotes to indicate what claims the following references support". If the issue is that there is a huge list

I think Tonga was the most recently admitted, but it hasn't ratified the agreement and so is not a member. Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, has both been admitted and ratified the agreement, so it is a member. Hence while Saudi Arabia is the newest member, Tonga was the state that most recently was

No, the proposed categories add value - they represent the PRACTICAL situation. You can find many sources about the freezing/abandoning of the Bahamas/Seychells/Vanuatu WTO negotiations. The last activities of them can be seen on the WTO pages for these countries' accessions (many years in the past).

This may be a bit presumptious of me, but I was just looking at the map and saw that French Guyana is not coloured as a member of the EU, despite the territory's own article stating that it is indeed considered a member. Considering the relatively noticable size of the place on the map (I mean to say

Far from recommending deletion, the critique section needs to be greatly strengthened. One of the fundamental problems with the GATT(S) is that it includes clauses preventing anyone saying anything that might damage the future profitability of a private company. This draconian "law" has been used for

The article doesn't mention that the European Union represents the countries of the EU in the WTO, and there seems to be a discrepancy in the Template:WTO because it lists some members of the EU (such as Belgium, Germany) but not others like the UK, yet they're all represented by the EU and therefore

is one that does not get much public attention. This is the sole purpose of the laundering in the first place. Still there should be countless ecamples to find. Hosains Paper describe Policy Laundering as a general "feature" of the negotiations of international treaties. The WTO is one place where a

Anything else would unnecessarily complicate the map. To that end (*), I don't think we need to parse this category by year – I didn't say it was irrelevant: I think it's unnecessary to depict these on the map (as previously). Perhaps a table would be better for these countries (w/years) or a link

1969:

However it looks like alot of the references are actually the full reference given for a short footnote above. So another suggestion would be to combine the full reference into the footnote, and remove it from the reference section... If I get some time I might have a go at that, unless anyone else

We color the non-sovereign territories on the map the same as their "mainland". For example - New Caledonia, Guam, Puerto Rico. But are we sure that they are covered by the WTO agreement of their states? Maybe exactly the opposite is true - because of the special situation of these territories they

The document above (and the different lists of observers at the WTO site) show multiple levels of interaction: member, applicant without approval yet (Syria, formerly Iran), observer not negotiating(Eq.Guinea, Vatican), observer negotiating. Also when you click on each observer you can see the most

125:

I also think there is a problem with the member list. For one, an article "WTO" should not be in a category "WTO members". The WTO is not a member of the WTO. And, as pointed out above, the member list is not accurate. I also don't like the fact that the list points to "Economy of" articles instead

1989:

I think that we need to improve the agreements section. A general chart of the WTO Agreement and its annexes providing links to separate articles on individual agreements would be cool (It would also help to shorten this article a little.). If someone can make such a chart I'm willing to provide

It's really a matter of how you count the agreements - do you include the GATT-era agreements, the plurilateral agreements, the ministerial decisions, the accession agreements, etc.? Depending on how you count, you get anywhere between 50 and some hundred agreements. From the context, I think what

Be nice to each other, I don't want to see two of my favourite country-and-organization-article-editors quarrelling. ;) I agree with Alinor that we should use circling for the smaller island nations, since it makes them more easily visible; and we should probably revise the categories a bit. While

Hi All, I'm planning to update and reorder the references and external links sections of the WTO page, as I feel they are out of date and unweildy for anyone actually wanting to access info. I'm going to 1) remove references which are not WTO-specific (for instance, works on "Global Business

Vatican negotiations are not expected (as writen on the WTO site). Syria is most probably "blocked" 3 times for 4 years. All this is VERY different than the actively negotiating members (some activity at least in the 2003 - again as per WTO site country accession pages).

I made some lines around Bahamas, etc. and embedded circles in them. Any problems with this version? I think that we should make similar lines around the real places of Kiribati, Palau, etc. and move their current circles "in the line".

The maps appear to be out of date. It states here that Jordan's negotiation procedures are frozen or have not existed for three years, yet the Jordan page claims it is a member. Both maps seem to have the same issue. Cheerio...

That's a good question: I would assume that such extraterritories, as subnational entities (and likely without formal standing at the WTO), should be treated/coloured just as the countries are unless there's evidence otherwise –

Thanks for the feedback: I'll change the yellows which are more meant to imply that they are more similar to each other (as observers, in whatever respect) than with either members or non-members.

The lack of transparency is often seen as a problem for democracy. Politicians can negotiate for regulations that would not be possible accepted in a democratic process in their own nations.

While the Parapragh describes a problem that is not an exclusive Problem of the WTO-Process but occurs with all international treaties, it is one of its major Problems. Can we add it again?

In addition, the arguments for and against a consultative parliamentary assembly don't seem to belong in a criticisms section. If kept, it should be moved to an article elsewhere.
