Moving negotiations forward – a new look at decision-making
The consultative board believes that the consensus approach to decision-making in the WTO has many strengths. There is however, reason for serious further study of the problems of achieving consensus in light of possible distinctions that could be made for certain types of decision, such as purely procedural issues. In this context, the Consultative Board urges the WTO Members to cause the General Council to adopt a Declaration that a Member considering blocking a measure which otherwise has very broad consensus support shall only block such consensus if it declares in writing, with reasons included, that the matter is one of vital national interest to it. |

| This sounds like an attempt to intimidate countries who might be wavering for very good reasons of national interest, and to force a false consensus like the disgraceful final session at Doha. |

| Such a measure will only make it possible to prive the developing Cies of only capacity to say no for certain decisions which do not answer their interests. And precisely when a State opposes to a decision, because there is one reason for that. To apply such a measurement, it is to expose weak countries to the pressures of the powerful countries.( excusez moi cet anglais imparfait) |

Dear sir,
It is important to discuss whether WTO is a successful established institution or is having an average run. well i think it still has to do lot of ground work. It is a tough task because it is what i call "Real Interdisciplanary Institution" that brings Economics, Law and Politics together.
pl get back to me. I am a researcher at JNU, New Delhi, India
