#MC14 Exposed US Heavy Hand at the #WTO; Developing Countries Need Each Other
The 14th WTO conference, #Trump's administration hypocritically denied the developing countries legitimate use of #tariffs for developmental objectives and policy space essential for developing their digital economy
Yes, #Europeans *are talking*

La reunión de la WTO en Camerún no logró extender la exención arancelaria del comercio electrónico.
#wto #comercio electronico #exencion arancelaria
Per oltre vent’anni, il commercio digitale globale si è sviluppato in una cornice peculiare: assenza di #dazi sulle trasmissioni elettroniche e un insieme di regole ancora parziale e in evoluzione.
Ma chi lo governa? Approfondiamo il caso del #WTO
But the bigger shift is structural.
The #WTO is increasingly moving towards a multi-layered system, where groups of countries move ahead when consensus among all members is impossible.
The CPTPP is less constraining than people think. Rather than see it as a grand political alliance, it was more useful to see it as a platform for trade that may help us once #WTO is fully non-operational.
"Without adequate safeguards and meaningful differential treatment for lower income and developing countries, current approaches risk exacerbating structural inequalities rather than alleviating them," writes Jessica Gan for @policyalternatives.ca. #WTO

The US and Brazil accused each other of blocking an agreement over taxes on international online trade. The WTO is experiencing a period of prolonged deadlock.

Onderhandelingen van Wereldhandelsorganisatie leiden niet tot akkoord over uitstel op e-commercetarieven #WTO #ecommerce #onderhandelingen #handelsakkoord #globaltrade
The failure to extend the digital services moratorium at the #WTO Ministerial conference might mean that countries impose tariffs on digital services. The US is fiercely opposed.
What does the US expect, though, when it's levying such high goods tariffs?

As #WTO #MC14 predictably ends without an agreement, we're witnessing one more stage in the breakdown of multilateralism and global cooperation. This article, by some friends in Bangladesh, describes the harsh reality for the least developed countries. www.tbsnews.net/analysis/wto...
