摘要
Director-General Pascal Lamy told the Trade Negotiations Committee on 17 December 2008 that ＂concluding the Round should remain our focus in 2009 but this endeavor takes place within a more global portfolio of WTO activities＂. He proposed immediate resumption of work across all negotiating groups in the new year, as well as ＂on the wider WTO front＂ like monitoring trade measures taken in relation to the financial crisis, trade finance and Aid for Trade.
