The Commerce
Ministry has called a meeting of all
stakeholders, including government officials and trade sector experts, on
January 20 to discuss issues which are likely to figure in the WTO meeting, an
official said.
The 13th
Ministerial Conference (MC) of World Trade Organization (WTO) is scheduled from February 26-29 in Abu
Dhabi, the UAE.
MC is the highest decision-making body of the
164-member WTO, which monitors global exports and
imports besides adjudicating disputes between member countries. India is the
member of the organisation since 1995.
The issues which would figure in the MC
13 include agriculture, food security, dispute settlement reform, e-commerce
moratorium, and fisheries subsidies.
“We are meeting all the stakeholders on
January 20,†the official said.
On the food security issue, India has
called for finding a permanent solution to the issue of public stockholding for
food security in the ministerial-level meeting.
It has dismissed arguments for alternative
food security solutions beyond PSH
(public stock holding) and SSM
(special safeguard mechanism).
On the e-commerce sector, the WTO members have agreed
not to impose customs duties on electronic transmissions since 1998. India
opposes the continuation.
