"The Doha Round, which was launched in 2001 with a view to creating new trade opportunities and correcting the current imbalances in the trade system, has been at a standstill since 2008. The eighth World Trade Organisation (WTO) Ministerial Conference will take place in December 2011 and will seek to conclude the Doha Round. We very much hope that it will at least make some progress in favour of the least developed countries. The WTO needs to establish international rules to limit food price fluctuations and thereby guarantee greater food security. It must also introduce simpler and more transparent preferential origin rules for imports from the least developed countries. If the WTO member states fail to reach an agreement on how to contribute to ambitious and balanced global development and how to guarantee economic growth and eradicate poverty around the world, then the WTO will have to be completely overhauled. Only through a well-regulated and fair world trade system can trade be used to serve sustainable development."@en1
