Your input will help us draw up the next Technical Assistance Plan for WTO Members and Observers. You will have a chance to make your views heard this Friday afternoon during a briefing on the 2007 TA plan.
Allow me to say a few words on the current state of play in the DDA negotiations. You will be receiving detailed briefings on all areas from the chairs of the negotiating groups throughout this week. Since the last Geneva Week in November last year, I am pleased to report that at the General Council meeting of February 2007, I announced the return to full negotiating mode across the board.
