Ministerial Conference  
Thirteenth Session  
Abu Dhabi, 26 -29 February 2024  Original: English  
 
 
STATEMENT BY H.E. MR PÉTER SZIJJÁRTÓ  
MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS  AND TRADE  
HUNGARY  
First of all I would like to express my appreciation to our friends from the UAE to extend a wonderful 
hospitality to the participants of the WTO Ministerial Conference.  
We are living in a turbulent period of time. We are confronted by a number of crises which have not 
been rooted in economy but at the end of the day they will have economic impacts and it is obvious 
that we are now witnessing the cr eation, the establishment of a new world order and it has an impact 
on the global trade and global economy as well.  
The major dilemma ahead of the global community is whether the world is going to be divided into 
blocks in the upcoming years again, or the  age of connectivity is coming up.  We Hungarians vote for 
the second, given the fact that we have a very sad historic experience about a time when the world 
was divided into blocks. We lost a lot on that. So we really would like to see connectivity coming up.  
And we Hungarians are proud that we became a meeting point of Eastern and Western investments 
in Hungary and we complete a strategy of economy and the trade which reaches out to both 
geographic directions.  
Our expectation regarding the current Ministe rial Conference is that finally we can adopt the 
agreement on investment facilitation for development and we can prolong the customs moratorium 
on e-commerce, which would be very important from the perspective of the upcoming years and we 
also would like t o see global political strategies which encourage investments.  
Our economy is successful in case we are able to attract FDI. We proved to be successful, in this 
regard, we have broken the record of FDI inflow into Hungary last year, big time doubling the r ecord 
which used to be valid.  
Ladies and Gentlemen, we wish that this Conference be successful and we wish that we can reach 
the targets what we have set in front of us.

La ACCC ha concluido la revisión de la norma de seguridad y ha recomenda do al Ministerio que la 
actualice para permitir a los proveedores cumplir una de las cuatro normas reconocidas aplicables a 
los juguetes, a saber, la Norma de Australia, la Norma Internacional (ISO), la Norma Europea (EN) 
o la Norma de los Estados Unidos ( ASTM).  
Además, la norma de seguridad exige específicamente que todos los juguetes para niños de hasta 
36 meses de edad que contengan cualquier tipo de pila tengan el compartimento de las mismas 
asegurado de manera que únicamente se pueda abrir con la ayuda  de una herramienta.

UPDATE ON THE FOSSIL FUEL SUBSIDIES REFORM (FFSR) JOINT MINISTERIAL 
STATEMENT  
COMMUNICATION FROM NEW ZEALAND  
This document is being circulated at the request of New Zealand  and reflects the presentation done 
during the Committee on Trade and Environment (CTE) regular meeting held on 2  February  2022. 
 
_______________  
 
 
1. New Zealand is  pleased to provide the Committee with an update on the joint Ministerial 
Statement on fossil f uel subsidy reform issued in December  2021. 
2. As colleagues will recall, the coordinators of the three trade and environment initiatives – the 
Plastics pollution and environmentally sustainable plastics trade ( IDP), the Trade and Environmental 
Sustainability  Structured Discussions (TESSD) , and the Fossil Fuel Subsidies Reform (FFSR) – had 
planned to hold a joint event at WTO 12th Ministerial Conference ( MC12 ) to launch the three 
Ministerial Statements.  When MC12 was postponed, it was decided to continue with  the joint launch 
event virtually on 15 December  2021. 
3. A number of Ministers representing the more than 80 co -sponsors across the three initiatives 
joined the WTO Director -General and stakeholders in launching and celebrating these statements.  
4. New Zealand is proud to report that 45 WTO Members signed on to the joint Ministerial 
Statement on fossil fuel subsidy reform.  
5. In doing so cosponsors have called for the rationalization and phase -out of inefficient fossil 
fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption along a clear timeline and committed to sharing 
information and experiences to advance the discussion at the WTO. Cosponsors continue to 
recognize that reform needs to take fully into account the specific needs and conditions  of developing 
countries and minimize the possible adverse impacts on their development.  
6. New Zealand looks forward to engaging with cosponsors to continue the important work – 
including to make good on the shared commitment to elaborate concrete options to  advance this 
issue at the WTO ahead of MC13.  
7. As New  Zealand stated at the last CTE meeting in October  2021 – the empirical evidence 
supporting the need for action on fossil fuel subsidies to meet our climate change and sustainable 
development objectives i s clear.  
8. The WTO is the appropriate forum to translate into concrete action the commitments on fossil 
fuel subsidy reform made by our Leaders at COP26 and in the Sustainable Development Goals.  
9. The joint Statement remains open to new co -sponsors, and we con tinue to encourage 
Members who have not signed on to do so.
