1/ Everyone seems to be talking about WTO reform at the moment. Thought I would share some of my thoughts. This conversation has been a long time coming. The membership of the @WTO has been skirting around the issue since #MC10 in 2015 (and before @DmitryOpines & others whisper).
2/ In 2015, the WTO held the 10th Ministerial Conference. This was the first time there was no agreement among all the countries (and territories) present were unable to agree to continue the Doha Development Round of trade negotiations. #DDA. They agreed to disagree.
3/ Lots of historical reasons for this (and a separate discussion in itself) but result was that the @WTO no longer had an overarching trade negotiation to aim towards. This meant that the membership once again focused on the regular functioning of the organisation.
