The WTO.

The WTO has nearly 150 members and 30 others are negotiating membership. Decisions are made by entire membership. This is typically by consensus. A majority vote is also possible but it has never been used in the WTO.

The WTO’s top level decision-making body is the Ministerial Conference which meets at least once every two years. Below this is the General Council which meets several times a year in Geneva headquarters. At the next level there’s the Goods Council, Services Council and Intellectual Property Council.

The WTO Secretariat, based in Geneva, has around 550 staff and is headed by a director-general. The Secretariat doesn’t have the decision-making role and its main duties are to organize work with all countries, to analyze world trade and to explain WTO affairs to the public and media.

The WTO’s main objective is to help trade flow smoothly, freely, fairly and predictably. The WTO’s rules are the results of negotiations between members. Now the WTO’s principal rule-book for trade in goods is the book of GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ). It all began with trade in goods and first, GATT was the forum for negotiating lower customs duty rates and other trade barriers. Since 1995, the updated GATT has become the WTO’s umbrella agreement for trade in goods. So through these rules, WTO members operate a non-discriminatory trading system. Each country receives guarantees that its exports will be treated fairly and consistently in other countries’ markets. Each promises to do the same for imports into its own market. That means that different services such as banks, insurance firms, tour operators, hotel chains and transport companies looking to do business abroad can enjoy the same principles of freer and fairer trade.
