Open Letter to WTO Director General – Pascal Lamy
The letter argues that the Chair of the Council for Trade in Services (CTS) has manipulated the 'consensus' process by including contested elements in draft texts while requiring full consensus for their removal. The signatories express concern that numerical targets and plurilateral approaches in the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) negotiations will undermine the policy space and development objectives of developing countries and LDCs, while ignoring agreed-upon mechanisms like the emergency safeguard mechanism (ESM).
