He said rules-based approaches on export credit put forward by the United States and the Cairns Group have attracted more support than an EU proposal based on quantitative and budgetary restrictions. ...

La Declaración de Visión reafirma también el apoyo del Grupo al principio de trato especial y diferenciado en favor de los países en vías de desarrollo, incluso los países de menor grado de desarrollo y los estados pequeños, lo que sigue siendo parte integral en las próximas negociaciones de la OMC sobre agricultura. Los ministros del Grupo Cairns acordaron que el marco estructural para la liberalización debe continuar apoyando las necesidades del desarrollo económico, incluyendo los requerimientos de ayuda técnica, de esos miembros de la OMC.

Australia (12/04)
One of the drafters of the UN Charter, Australia has given firm support to the United Nations and its specialized agencies.

USIS Washington File: BYLINER: CAIRNS GROUP REPRESENTATIVE ON WTO MINISTERIAL
Members of the Cairns Group were generally pleased with the outcome of the Uruguay Round but believe that much remains to be done to ensure that a genuine market-oriented approach to agricultural policies is achieved. For example, in 1997, levels of agricultural support in Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries alone were still extremely high at $280,000 million. The approach taken by the group to the challenge of reducing this assistance and creating a freer agricultural marketplace has been two-pronged. First, the group has worked to ensure that countries meet the agricultural-related commitments agreed to during the Uruguay Round. It has done this by remaining visible and active since the end of the round. One of its members (Ambassador Danai from Thailand) was appointed the first chair of the WTO Committee on Agriculture. Ambassador Danai's successor as chair, appointed in early 1997, is another Cairns Group member Ambassador Osorio from Colomb ... [Read More]
