Zusammenfassung:The recent Doha Ministerial Declaration builds upon the agreements reached in the previous Uruguay Round and goes further towards responding to developing country requirements by acknowledging the existence of non-trade concerns. Developing countries often face great pressure to liberalize quickly. Although markets are supposed to create jobs, in reality, employment does not materialize quickly enough for those who have been displaced; the poor do not have access to safety nets to buffer their fall, public spending is insufficient to meet its many objectives and regulatory safeguards aimed at protecting the environment are often honored in the breach. What is needed is not a carte-blanc for unlimited developing country protectionism, but instead recognition that "special and differential" treatment should also apply to the choice of instruments that developing countries employ to assist agriculture achieve its multiple roles.
