WTO Accession Issues
Rolf J. Langhammer and Matthias Lücke
Abstract: For many applicant countries, accession to the W70 has
been, and still is, a frustratingly slow process. In this paper, we discuss
the substantial, contentious issues that are slowing down progress in
accession negotiations. We contrast these with the benefits of WTO
accession not only to the applicant countries, but also to the multilateral
trading system as a whole and, hence, to current members. Against this
background, we suggest a strategy to accelerate accession without diluting
the ground rules of the multilateral trading system.
Keywords: WTO accession, transition economies, state trading, antidumping duties; (follow links to similar papers)
