The 12th WTO Ministerial Conference takes place from June 12-15 in Geneva, within a complex geopolitical context. In addition to the themes of agriculture (including food security and public stockpiling) and fisheries subsidies, the reform of the Organization will be under discussion. The reform is a complex issue, which involves discussions on the dispute settlement mechanism. It also includes the initiatives of groups of WTO Members negotiating among themselves new disciplines on e-commerce and investment facilitation. This webinar will have experts from the field of international trade who will discuss these topics as well as the prospects for the WTO in the future.
