WTO members review six regional trade agreements, discuss transparency issues

The Committee considered the following Agreements:

The Chair of the Committee, Ambassador José Valencia of Ecuador, noted that 61 RTAs in force have still not been notified to the WTO up to 2 June 2025 — up from 58 RTAs on the previous list.

The Chair outlined the informal consultations he recently held with members on the issues of non-notified RTAs, factual presentations, and possible inputs for the 14th WTO Ministerial Conference to be held in Yaoundé, Cameroon, on 26-29 March 2026.

Ambassador Valencia shared a report summarizing members' views, with background context provided primarily by the Secretariat, and his own suggestions for action. The report was presented under the Chair's own responsibility and without prejudice to members' views. Further informal consultations are planned after the summer to facilitate deeper discussions on the report’s content and future actions.

Under other business, Brazil sought clarification on the trade deal recently announced by the United States and the United Kingdom. The US and the UK said they would relay the questions to capitals and revert back.

Next meeting

The next Committee meeting is scheduled for 10 November.
