Today we will talk about world trade. Russia
and the European Union agreed at their recent
summit in Nice to formulate a "road map" to
solve problems hampering Russias access to
the World Trade Organization. Will it help?
And what does WTO membership mean for Russia?
Is it a two way street? What can Moscow give
to the world in terms of trade, and what does
Russia want from the WTO? The guest to tell
us more is Deputy Director for Trade Talks at
the Russian Ministry of Economic Development
Vladimir Tkachenko. Tags :SpotlightinterviewAlGurnovWTO
The World Trade Organisation's Doha round of
trade talks is coming to a head and the
future of the world's poor hangs in the
balance. But what is the WTO, and how did it
get to be so powerful? War on Want's short
film exposes the truth behind the WTO and its
damaging 'free trade' policies
This film was made possible through funding
from the Cooperative Bank's Customers Who
Care scheme. Thanks also to the following for
providing images, music and other input:
