The Uruguay round: An initial assessment Introduction

The Cartagena Commitment, in its paragraph 144, requested the Trade and Development Board to analyse and assess the outcome of the Uruguay Round, in particular in areas of concern to developing countries, and its impact on the international trading system. This analysis, supported by documentation prepared by the Secretary-General of UNCTAD, should also provide the basis for an identification of the problems and opportunities facing developing countries and countries in transition to a market economy in increasing their participation in international trade in goods and services in the 1990s.
