Description
In opulent surroundings, representatives of the World Trade Organization's (WTO) 146 member states met 10-14 September 2003 in Cancun to discuss progress in the so-called development round--officially the Doha Development Agenda--named after the meeting that launched the negotiations. The task at hand was difficult: to relieve the deadlock plaguing the trade agenda and in so doing agree to concessions designed to address the development concerns of the Global South, while placating the North's desire to begin negotiations on multilateral agreements on investment, government procurement, trade facilitation, and competition policy (the so-called Singapore issues). The fault line was agriculture, a notoriously awkward area. All of the usual players were in town: legions of trade officials from the industrial North; significantly fewer representatives from the more numerous countries of the South; protestors; nongovernmental organizations (NGOs); the press; organizing committee officials; onlookers; and heavy security consisting of armed police, co-opted personnel and, most formidably, three Mexican warships. The draft declaration produced prior to the meeting failed to provide the basis on which negotiation and agreement could ensue. The production of a second draft declaration midway through the ministerial proved little better. The meeting finally collapsed when conference chair Mexican foreign minister Luis Ernesto Derbez called a close to proceedings. In spite of a rather ironic ministerial declaration that "considerable progress" has been made in Cancun, little hope exists that the round will be concluded by its 1 January 2005 deadline.
