USTR Official Downplays Possibility Of Partially Applied Trade Facilitation Deal

摘要

A U.S. trade official this week downplayed the idea that a trade facilitation agreement newly approved by members of the World Trade Organization this month could end up being not universally applied because not all countries would end up ratifying it. The agreement will go into effect when two-thirds of WTO members have ratified it, but would not apply at that time to those who have not.
