onaninterim basis inhiscapacity astheChairman oftheCTD.
3. Thehighlevelofactivity oftheCTD in1996 reflected theimportance attached byMembers
toproposing practical recommendations fortheSingapore Ministerial Conference (SMC). Asaresult,
itbecame clearintheearlypartofthisyearthattheCTD work programme for1996would beadjusted
inthelightofMembers 'priorities inrelation totheSMC. Accordingly, Members oftheCommittee
identified fourpriority tasksfortheCommittee 'swork: (a)review oftheimplementation ofprovisions
intheWTO Agreements andlegal instruments infavour ofdeveloping country Members; (b)the
preparation ofguidelines forthetechnical cooperation activities oftheWTO; (c)working towards
increasing theparticipation ofdeveloping countries inthemultilateral trading system, including the
evaluation ofimpact oftheUruguay Round onthese countries; and,(d)within these three tasks,
recommend -onapriority basis -positive measures aimed atensuring thatleast-developed country
Members achieve theirdevelopment objectives.
4. Thisreport isdivided intothreesections. Section Isummarizes thework doneineachofthese
fourpriority areas, including thework oftheSub-Committee onLeast-Developed Countries, aswell
asonother issues falling within themandate oftheCTD; Section IIidentifies priority areas forthe

Section I-Work oftheCTD during 1996
(a) Review oftheimplementation ofprovisions infavour ofdeveloping country Members
5. TheCommittee agreed toreview theimplementation ofprovisions infavour ofdeveloping
country Members onthebasisofcontributions fromMembers andfromtheWTO Bodies responsible
formonitoring theimplementation oftheUruguay Round commitments. Toassist inthisexercise,
theChairman invited theChairpersons ofother WTO Bodies tosubmit information onhowprovisions
infavour ofdeveloping countries hadbeendealtwithintheirrespective Committees. Onthebasis
ofthese responses, theSecretariat prepared background documentation presenting thereplies received
inananalytical format.
6. Thework oftheCommittee hasthusfocused onahorizontal overview oftheimplementation
ofprovisions infavour ofdeveloping countries. TheCommittee noted that,duetothefactthatthe
WTO wasnewly established, theimplementation process wasstillatanearly stage andfurther work
wasrequired fortheCommittee tobeinaposition tofullyevaluate overall progress. TheCommittee
alsoacknowledged thebroad scope andcomplexity oftheconcepts, principles andrulescontained in
theWTO instruments andthat,insome instances, themeans wereyettobeelaborated toprovide an
operational content tothespecial provisions infavour ofleast-developed andother developing country
Members.
7. TheCommittee recognized thatalthough theimplementation oftheprovisions intheWTO
instruments infavour ofleast-developed andother developing country Members hadbeeningeneral
moving ahead inthefirsttwoyears ofexistence oftheWTO, available information pointed toarelatively
lowuseofthose provisions. Many oftheprovisions required action onthepartofdeveloping country
Members tosetinmotion theirapplication. Inthisrespect, theCommittee emphasized theimportance
toimprove theflowofinformation todeveloping, andinparticular least-developed country Members,
ofprovisions intheirfavour which were dependent upon specific requests ontheirpart.
8. Concerns were alsoexpressed astowhether developing country Members hadbeenableto
draw fullbenefit from provisions intheirfavour byincorporating them intotheirtrade policy and
developmentprogrammes.Thepointwasmadethat,evenwhenprovisionswereadequatelyimplemented,
theirimpact ondeveloping country Members remained tobeseen. Some Members referred tothe
importance oftheTrade Policy Review Mechanism fordeveloping countries inthiscontext, andto
thepositive effects oftheirparticipation inthatexercise.
9. TheCommittee offered recommendations forfuture work onthese areas (seeSection II).It
alsoemphasized theimportance ofmaintaining thehorizontal nature ofitsroleinthisareaanditsclose
relationship withwork developed inother WTO Bodies.
(b) Guidelines forWTO Technical Cooperation
10. Inaccordance withtheterms ofreference oftheCTD andinthelightoftheMarrakesh
Declaration calling forincreased andstrengthened technical cooperation, theCTDattached considerable
priority todrafting theGuidelines forWTO Technical Cooperation. Indoing so,Members tookinto
account thetrading environment within which theWTO istooperate (i.e.when compared tothatof
theGATT), andstressed theneedtoadapt thetechnical cooperation activities oftheWTO toimprove
itseffectiveness inhelping recipient country Members tointegrate intothemultilateral trading system.WT/COMTD/9
Page3
11. Thepreparation ofthese Guidelines wascarried outonthebasis ofthefollowing premises:
(i)technicalcooperationshouldaimatcapacity-building,inparticularofhumanresourcesandinstitutional
andadministrative structures; (ii)theWTO should concentrate itsassistance onitsareasofcompetence;
(iii)aneffective response totheincreasing needs ofdeveloping countries fortechnical cooperation
intrade-related matters required thecoordination oftechnical cooperation activities provided bythe
various international organizations; (iv)there wasaneedtoremove anyunnecessary overlap with
thetechnical cooperation programmes ofrelevant international organizations andtoensure thatrecipient
countries fully benefit from thecomplementary nature oftheir respective competencies; and,
(v)Members should become more involved intheplanning andmonitoring ofWTO 'stechnical
cooperation activities.
12. Inorder toassist theCommittee inassessing thepriority areas forWTO technical cooperation,
theCommittee benefited fromthree major inputs; namely, aChairman 'squestionnaire senttoWTO
Members, which served toidentify theoverall technical cooperation needs ofMembers; thecontribution
oftheHeads ofInstitutions andotherBodies whoaddressed theCommittee onvarious occasions, thereby
helping toclarify howthetechnical cooperation activities could becoordinated among therelevant
institutions; and,acomprehensive non-paper bySwitzerland.
13. Based ontheseaswellasonindividual written andoralcontributions fromvarious delegations,
theCommittee adopted on15October asetofGuidelines fortheWTO 'sTechnical Cooperation (see
Attachment 1).TheGuidelines elaborate thescope oftheWTO 'stechnical cooperation; serve toensure
thattheassistance provided willbeadapted totheevolving needs ofrecipient countries andfocus on
capacity-building; andprovide foranevaluation oftheWTO 'stechnical cooperation.
(c) Participation ofdeveloping country Members inthemultilateral trading system, including
thereview oftheimpact oftheUruguay Round ondeveloping country Members
14. During thefirsthalfof1996, theCommittee elaborated anoutline forastudy tobeprepared
bytheSecretariat, which would address thereasons whysome developing countries hadperformed
better thanothers inintegrating intothemultilateral trading system. Theobjective ofthestudy was
toprovide background material foracomprehensive discussion intheCommittee onthese issues and,
ifpossible, todraw conclusions onhowtofacilitate theintegration ofdeveloping country Members
intothemultilateral trading system. Thestudy, distributed inearly August (WT/COMTD/W/15),
addressed bothdomestic (macroeconomic policies, infrastructure problems, etc.)andexternal factors
(barriers totrade inimporting markets, restrictive business practices, etc.).
15. Given thecomplexity ofthetopics addressed, sometimes divergent comments weremade and
different conclusions reached byMembers. Inparticular, various views were expressed onthe
importance ofappropriate domestic policies andofmarket access possibilities fortheeconomic
development ofdeveloping countries. Forsome Members, themainconclusion wasthatthedifferent
ratesofgrowth ofdeveloping countries wasprimarily related totheirdomestic policies -thatis,while
market access wasimportant todetermine theexport performance ofcountries, littlecould beachieved
iftheappropriate domestic policies werenotinplace (e.g.astable economic environment andaliberal
trade regime). Other Members, however, while recognizing theimportance ofdomestic policies, felt
thatthese didnotconstitute themain reason forthedivergent performance ofdeveloping countries,
andthattradebarriers hadplayed amore significant rolethandomestic policies. Anumber ofspecific
comments weremade withrespect tothecontent ofthestudy; inparticular, themanner inwhich foreign
direct investment wasdealtwithandtothefactthatinsufficient attention waspaidtotheimportance
ofdomestic savings fortheprocess ofeconomic development andtheproblems faced bythenet-food
importing countries.WT/COMTD/9
Page4
16. Anumber ofMembers drew attention tothepositive relationship between investment and
development. Inthisrespect, theCommittee noted thatbothitsterms ofreference aswellasthose
oftheSub-Committee onLeast-Developed Countries provide thepossibility forthesebodies toconsider
measures andinitiatives toassist developing andleast-developed country Members intheexpansion
oftheirtradeandinvestment opportunities fromadevelopment perspective, andthatthisisofrelevance
fortheCTD'swork.
17. Indiscussing thisitem, some Members reiterated thefactthatanumber ofleast-developed
countries,whilehavingliberalinvestmentandtraderegimes,werenotabletotakeadvantageofinitiatives
intheareaoftrade andinvestment duetosupply-side constraints anddifficulties inadopting adequate
domestic policies. Itwasfeltthatthisproblem could betackled, interalia,through theprovision of
technical cooperation inconjunction withotherinternational organizations aimed atbuilding thecapacity
ofhuman andother resources inthese countries. Thecommitment toimplement measures tointegrate
least-developed countries intothemultilateral trading system (see(d)below) wasalsoreferred toon
numerous occasions.
(d) Least-developed countries
18. Asmentioned above, under eachofthepriority areas, particular attention wasdevoted tothe
difficulties oftheleast-developed countries. Work wasinitiated through areview oftheproblems,
concerns andspecial measures infavour oftheleast-developed countries made bytheSub-Committee
onLeast-Developed Countries. Various background documents wereprovided forthereview ofthe
situation oftheleast-developed countries. These included summaries ofthespecial provisions contained
inUruguay Round Agreements andlegal instruments infavour ofleast-developed countries
(COM.TD/LLDC/W/54),andinparticular,thoseprovisionswhichrequiredspecificactionbyMembers
(WT/COMTD/W/10). Adocument wasalsoprepared anddiscussed outlining recent international
initiatives launched infavour ofleast-developed countries tofacilitate theexpansion oftheirtrade and
investment opportunities (WT/COMTD/LLDC/W/1). Thestudy referred toin(c)above, while not
exclusively devoted toleast-developed countries, provided insights intofactors which might havehad
abearing ontheireconomic, andinparticular trade, performance. Further, first-hand information
ontheworkinfavour ofleast-developed countries carried orplanned forthefuture byotherinternational
organizations wasmade available toMembers through presentations totheCTDandtheSub-Committee
(see(e)below) byvarious invited speakers.
19. Thereview pointed tothedifficult economic situation ofleast-developed countries andtothe
risksoftheirmarginalization inthemultilateral trading system. While theinternational community
waswellawareoftheseproblems,includingtheneedtodevelopdomesticinitiativesaddressingstructural
problems, andhadundertaken numerous initiatives intheareaoftradeandinvestment (both bilaterally
andthrough multilateral institutions), theseingeneral havenotbeensufficient toarrest thedeterioration
oftheeconomic conditions ofanumber ofleast-developed countries. Consequently, theSub-Committee
identified twomaincontributions thattheWTO could make tobetter integrate least-developed countries
intothemultilateraltradingsystem:first,toensurethattechnicalcooperationprovidedtoleast-developed
country Members would aimatinstitutional andhuman capacity-building: andsecond, preparing a
WTO PlanofAction forLeast-Developed Countries thatwould becomprehensive innature andfully
integrated withtheinitiatives planned orunderway elsewhere.
20. Asaresult aDraft WTO PlanofAction forLeast-Developed Countries wasdistributed toCTD
Members atitsEleventh Session. ThePlanofAction reaffirms commitments thatWTO Members
hadalready undertaken withrespect toleast-developed countries andproposes acoordinated strategy
toassist least-developed countries andidentifies many areaswhere practical measures could beadopted.
AttheCommittee 'sTwelfth Session, theCTD considered thedraftPlanofAction andforwarded itWT/COMTD/9
Page5
forconsiderationtotheGeneralCouncilandsubmissiontoMinistersforadoptioninSingapore(circulated
indocument WT/COMTD/W/20).
21. Inaddition, Members feltthat,while theWTO PlanofAction pointed intherightdirection,
more wasneeded toincrease coordination ininternational actions infavour ofleast-developed countries
andefficiency withrespect totheassistance offered tothem. Thus, theCommittee alsoagreed that
theGeneral Council recommend thatMinisters inSingapore callforahigh-level meeting inGeneva
assoonaspossible in1997, inprinciple tobeorganized jointly byWTO, UNCTAD andITC, with
theparticipation ofnational aidagencies, international financial institutions andother relevant
organizations, tofoster anintegrated approach tothetrade-related aspects ofleast-developed countries '
economic development, which willneedtobeobserved intheimplementation oftheWTO Planof
Action. Special emphasis should begiven toincreasing efficiency intheprovision oftechnical assistance
forhuman andinstitutional capacity building.
22. Given thatonlyalimited number ofleast-developed countries arerepresented inGeneva, the
Government ofNorway accepted tofinance, through itsTrust Fund, theparticipation ofrepresentatives
fromleast-developed countries fromtheEuropean capitals attheFourth Session oftheSub-Committee
on23September 1996 andrelated briefings bytheWTO Secretariat on24September 1996. These
activities werewellattended bybothGeneva andnon-Geneva based least-developed country delegations.
(e) Trade anddevelopment activities ofintergovernmental organizations
23. TheCommittee hasactively engaged inpursuing theobjective ofcloser institutional cooperation
byinviting toitsSeventh Session theSecretary-General ofUnited Nations Conference onTrade and
Development (UNCTAD), theExecutive-Director oftheInternational Trade Centre andtheChairman
ofbothWTO 'sGeneral Council andUNCTAD 'sTrade andDevelopment Board. Thisdialogue
continued attheCommittee 'sTenth Session, where theChairman oftheJointInternational Monetary
Fund (IMF)/World Bank Development Committee addressed theCTD. Thisintensified dialogue has
provided Members oftheCommittee withanumber ofpositive contributions, inparticular, withrespect
tobetter appreciating thework ofeachofthese organizations.
24. Onthese occasions, theDirector-General oftheWTO hasalsoaddressed theCommittee on
theresults oftheUruguay Round; theSingapore Ministerial Conference; hisinvitation toparticipate
intheG7Summit; and,technical cooperation.
25. TheChairman oftheJointIMF/World BankDevelopment Committee andtheDirector-General
oftheWTO alsoaddressed theSub-Committee onLeast-Developed Countries atitsFourth Session.
Onthatoccasion, Members oftheSub-Committee wereinformed bytheChairman oftheDevelopment
Committee ofthejointIMF/World Bank initiative fordebtrelief ofhighly-indebted poorcountries.
Inhisaddress, theDirector-General oftheWTO referred tosome actions thatWTO Members should
taketoenhance thedevelopment oftheleast-developed countries, andthatthese should come together
inaPlanofAction forLeast-Developed Countries.
(f) Other elements addressed bytheCommittee
26. AtitsFifthSession, theCommittee reviewed andtooknoteoftheactivities oftheWTO during
1995intheareaoftechnical cooperation. Members alsocommended Norway foritsspecial contribution
totechnical cooperation activities through theestablishment ofaTrust Fund, andtheEuropean
Communities 'financing ofatechnical cooperation programme infavour ofAfrican, Caribbean and
Pacific countries ontheresults andopportunities created bytheUruguay Round.WT/COMTD/9
Page6
27. AtitsTwelfth Session, theCommittee wasinformed ofaninitiative bytheSecretariat tohold
aMeeting ofMinisters from Least-Developed Countries on13-15 November 1996 tobriefthem on
theSingapore Ministerial Conference. TheMeeting istobefinanced bycontributions from the
Governments oftheCzech Republic, Korea andNorway.
Section II-Future Work Programme
28. Initsfuture work, theCTDwillcontinue toaddress allitems included initsterms ofreference.
Itwill,inparticular, continue tofulfilitsmandate ofkeeping under review theimplementation ofthe
Uruguay Round provisions infavour ofdeveloping andleast-developed country Members. Inthis
context,theCommitteewillexplorewaysofensuringgreaterdisclosureoftheapplicationoftheUruguay
Round provisions infavour ofdeveloping andleast-developed countries1;andofincreasing efforts
todisseminate information relating tothose provisions. In1997, theCommittee willalsoneedtodecide
howtoimplement therecently adopted Guidelines forWTO 'sTechnical Cooperation withrespect to,
forexample, themonitoring, managing andevaluating technical cooperation activities oftheWTO.
29. Members stressed that,inaddressing thedifferent items oftheworkprogramme, theCommittee
should attempt tomake fulluseofthemany background documents prepared bytheCTD during its
firsttwoyears ofexistence (seeAttachment 2).
Section III-Elements forIntegration intoSingapore Ministerial Process
30. Ministers takenotewithsatisfaction oftheadoption ofGuidelines forWTO 'sTechnical
Cooperation andreiterate theircommitment tocontinue ensuring theavailability offinancial andhuman
resources fortechnical cooperation activities asoneelement tofacilitate theparticipation ofdeveloping
country Members inthemultilateral trading system and,inparticular, reverse thetrend ofthe
marginalization ofanumber ofleast-developed country Members.
31. Ministersrecognizethattheimplementationofthespecialprovisionsinfavourofleast-developed
andother developing country Members, though stillatanearly stage, hasbeenmoving intheright
direction. Ministers recognize theimportance ofincreasing theawareness ofdeveloping country
Members ofthespecial provisions relating tothem, inparticular those designed toenhance trade
opportunities. They notethatthese provisions facilitate asmoother integration ofdeveloping country
Members intotherules-based multilateral trading system while theyproceed withthenecessary domestic
adjustments.
32. Ministers adopt theWTO PlanofAction fortheLeast-Developed Countries transmitted by
theGeneral Council.
