Doha Round Briefing Series - Issue 11 of 13 - Trade and Transfer of Technology
The eleventh of a series prepared by the International Institute for Sustainable Development and the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development. The Doha Ministerial Declaration has, for the first time in the history of the multilateral trading system, introduced a binding mandate for WTO Members to examine the relationship between trade and technology transfer. To this end, ministers established a Working Group on Trade and Transfer of Technology (WGTTT), open to all Members, to operate within the permanent structure of the WTO.
