World Trade Organisation
The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the only international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations. At its heart are the WTO agreements, negotiated and signed by the bulk of the world’s trading nations and ratified in their parliaments. The fundamental goal of the WTO, as set out in the organization’s founding agreement, is to use trade as a means to improve people’s living standards, create better jobs and promote sustainable development.
CTFA keeps abreast of WTO notifications that are released when party countries plan to introduce new requirements. Other party countries are given the opportunity to comment on the proposed changes, for further consideration. CTFA shares these notifications for members to participate and be aware of coming changes.
