IATP Report from Doha
NGO's have issued an action alert charging the WTO of starting use the "Green Room" process whereby select delegation are called into private meetings to negotiate trade agreements. This process marginalizes developing countries, leaving them to sign agreements that they have not been party to.
The action alert calls on developing countries to speak up now rather than at the end of the meeting, and to reject outright any agenda that does not meet with proper and transparent methods of negotiation. Let us not wait till the 13th to see yet another "consensus" text to which countries did not agree. Do not repeat the Uruguay Round experience.:
