§ Lord Juddasked Her Majesty's Government:
In the light of the statement by G7 finance ministers in favour of a new World Trade Organisation to reduce trade barriers in both industrialised and developing countries, what specific measures they will be advocating on a country-by-country basis to bring developing countries to a position in which they are able to participate in an increasingly liberalised global economy on a basis comparable with the advantages enjoyed by industrialised countries. [HL1981]
§ Lord Sainsbury of TurvilleAs our recent White PaperEliminating World Poverty: Making Globalisation Work for the Poor makes clear, the Government are committed to working with their EU partners both by giving any new WTO round a clear development focus and by implementing complementary measures to help enable developing countries to participate in and particularly benefit more fully from the globalised economy.
