With the development of multilateral trading system, trade barriers come out at the same time. Obviously barriers to international trade are so involved and complex that it is hard to deal with because everything has two sides. On the one hand, it contributes to protect domestic commerce as well as to provide a secure and healthy environment for citizens to buy goods. On the other hand, because of the high running of trade protectionism, more and more countries are now faced with increasingly problems such as the decrease in exportation, the loss of employment and so on.
Hence the delegate of Luxembourg believes that it is essential to establish an open and fair international trade system. 小荷作文网 www.zww.cn
Firstly, the UN (United Nations) and the WTO (World trade organization) play some important parts because reducing trade barriers makes sense at any level and it needs some normative criteria. The UN should take the responsibility as a bridge to each nation. It can make sure that the demands can be successfully applied during the trade. The summit should call on the Doha Agreement to place development and urge that actions be taken to remove the trade concerns of developing countries in order to make sure that they can get benefits even before the negotiations are completed. A database can also be established for the collection of information to maintain the process of reform and liberalization of trade policies. Besides, a mechanism to supervise and manage should be set up under the WTO.
Secondly, regional organizations for trade are significant. So far as Luxembourg is concerned, we are a member of EU (European Union) and most of our trades are under the EU especially with German, Belgium, France and Netherlands. From the view of our success of trade we can see the accomplishment that EU has done in trade barriers. So a normalized regional organization such as EU, TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership), APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) is of much significance. Luxembourg supports the positive elements on taking collective actions to respond to trade barriers.
Last but not least, for the country itself, it is imperative to stick to the principles set by WTO especially for some least developed countries that faced with special structural difficulties in the global economy. It’s crucial to set a proper legislation to protect the countries’ trade among the agriculture, services, and industries and so on. In the meantime, too much trade protectionism must be forbidden.
Make no mistakes. This is a hard-won revolution in international affairs but it teaches us a vital lesson: if we preserve, we can find collective answers to this problem. So let us get to work, confident and determined. That would be a platform which to do even more in the years ahead.
