World Trade Organization, (WTO), Annual Report 2005. Tenth Anniversary, 1995-2005

摘要

The increasing public interest in the World Trade Organization's (WTO's) work since its creation in 1995 has been matched by a growing demand for more information about the organization and the multilateral trading system. The WTO Secretariat has worked to meet this expectation by expanding its information activities to include a broader range of publications, an extensive Internet site and numerous outreach activities. This Annual Report is a guide and compendium covering the institutional aspects of the WTO, its regular activities, the work of WTO Members, and the Secretariat's budget and staff. The World Trade Report, published at mid-year, provide research and analysis of problems and issues which currently confront the global trading system. In the fall of each year the WTO publishes its detailed compilation of International Trade Statistics. These annual publications constitute a comprehensive review of trade issues, developments and initiatives for each year. They are part of the WTO's continuing efforts to work in a manner which is transparent, informative and in tune with the expectations of the public around the world.
