»»Will Vietnam Join to WTO in October ?
After a 11-year long process, it seems Vietnam is to join to WTO.
Erik Glenne, chairman of the ruling General Council of the 149-nation WTO, said: “World Trade Organisation negotiators aim to give Vietnam a green light to join the global body in early October”
Glenne, who also steers Vietnam’s membership talks, told a negotiating session that he aimed to secure a final deal in time for the Council session scheduled for 10-11 October.
Glenne also said that Vietnam needed to come up with more information to show how it would comply, in areas ranging from tariffs and import quotas to farm subsidies and services market liberalisation. (source)
Vietnam hopes to join the WTO before Hanoi hosts an APEC summit in November which US President George W. Bush is expected to attend.
