Doha round can be part of the answer to the food crisis
- Lamy
Director-General Pascal Lamy, in his address to the
High-Level Conference on World Food Security on
3 June 2008 in
Rome, said that "through greater and fairer competition,
international trade can help lower prices". He added that the Doha
Round would reduce trade-distorting subsidies and tariffs, and could
strengthen WTO rules on export restrictions.
