Geneva 14-16 October 2002:
“WTO and the Doha Agenda”. International Workshop at the World Trade
Organization (WTO) with Specialists from Policy Institutes in
Developing Countries
Report "The shaping of a more
egalitarian and inclusive global system requires the
incorporation of perspectives that have heretofore been
neglected - in particular, the views of people in poor
countries who are not represented by powerful special
interests. With the view to furthering such dialogue the "WTO
and Doha Agenda" Workshop brought developing-country policy
specialists to Geneva, where they met with WTO staff and
country negotiators. They analysed the World Trade
Organisation in the context of last fall's Doha ministerial
and the outlook for development leading up to next year's
ministerial meeting in
Cancun."

Berlin March 2002: The Cotonou Agreement-
New Perspective for European Trade Policy? Programme and
Documentation. International Conference in
preparation of the Negotiations between EU and ACP Countries on
Regional Trade and Economic Cooperation Agreements jointly organised
by: FES, WEED and terre des homes. "Die AKP-Staaten sind in der
Weltwirtschaft weitgehend marginalisiert. Dies haben auch 25 Jahre
Kooperation zwischen der EU und den AKP-Staaten im Rahmen der
Lomé-Verträge nicht ändern können. Das Scheitern einer
"Entwicklungsrunde" der Welthandelsorganisation in Doha im Interesse
der Entwicklungsländer verdeutlicht eine Krise der Globalisierung.
Wir nehmen dies zum Anlass, die Strategien und Ziele europäischer
Handelspolitik gegenüber den AKP-Staaten in ihrer Gesamtheit einer
kritischen Betrachtung zu unterziehen und grundlegende politische
Tendenzen zu betrachten."
