Abstract:
The recent Irish Trade Policy Statement devoted a whole chapter to the trade needs
of developing countries (DETE, 2005). In it, the Government recognises the role
that trade policy can play in providing economic development opportunities to
emerging and poorer countries. It states that achieving the development dimension
of the WTO Doha Development Agenda is the most effective way of realizing that
ambition. The Statement confirms that Ireland wants to assist these countries to
shape the outcome of the Doha process in their interest and in a way that provides
the greatest opportunity for those in need.
