Environment and trade: Internet chat with Trade Commissioner Pascal Lamy.
Environment and trade Events under the meeting
of the World Trade Organisation in Seattle last year demonstrated
clearly the need to integrate environmental and social concerns
into the work of the WTO. The EEA would therefore like to bring
your attention to the following Internet event.
Under the title "Why the world of trade is changing for the better"
the European Trade Commissioner, Pascal Lamy, invites you to participate
in an Internet chat on 12 July between 6-8 pm. Commissioner Lamy
says: "The accession of China to the WTO reinforces the need to
reflect on how to reform the WTO in order that the multilateral
trading system be better organised and further liberalised in the
interest of the citizen and businesses of all sizes. That it is
why I continue to work for the launch of a comprehensive new trade
round. The EU believes a new round should not be limited to traditional
issues such as market access, but must also address new issues of
concern to citizens the world over such as health, the environment
and consumer protection, which are essential for the harmonious
and sustainable development of trade. " More information can be
