Doha Round Briefing Series - Issue 12 of 13 - Technical Assistance and Capacity-building
The twelfth of a series prepared by the International Institute for Sustainable Development and the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development.

It was the oil that smoothed the way towards developing countries' acceptance of a broad-based new round of talks including, for the first time, issues such as the environment and — at least potentially — investment, competition policy, transparency in government procurement and trade facilitation.
