Statement by Abdoulie Janneh, the Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa at the AU Conference of Ministers of Trade 2nd Extra-ordinary Session. Mr. Janneh, on his remarks highlighted that, This meeting is taking place at an important juncture in the current round of trade negotiations, called the Doha Work Programme, in a number of aspects. Developing countries, including African countries, are therefore extremely concerned with the uncertainty that has been injected into the outcome of the Doha Round, by the scaling back of expectations for the Hong Kong WTO Ministerial Conference. African countries should ensure that whatever happens in Hong Kong does not lead to the scaling down of the level of ambition of the Doha Work Programme. Correcting the profound imbalances in agricultural trade is a central element of this objective but it also requires expanding real market access for industrial products of export interest to African countries and services particularly in mode 4 for both skilled and unskilled workers.
