Ministerial Conference 
Tenth Session 
Nairobi, 15-18 December 2015  Original: Spanish  
 
STATEMENT BY H.E. MR ILDEFONSO GUAJARDO VILLARREAL 
MINISTER OF THE ECONOMY 
MEXICO 
The founder of this great nation, Jomo Kenyatta, once said: "Our children may learn about the 
heroes of the past. Our task is to make ourselves the architects of the future."  Twenty years on from the founding of the WTO, we must ask ourselves whether we are helping to 
buttress the future architecture of world trade such that is able to deploy its full potential as a 
lever for growth, job creation and poverty alleviation.  
Mexico defends the mult ilateral trading system 
 Mexico has consolidated its position as an important investment hub and a prominent platform for 
exports to the world. This has been possible thanks largely to the existence of a robust, 
transparent and non-discriminatory multilateral trading system, embodied in a successful organization that is committed to playing its role, with the result that our strong commitment to free trade is now yielding results. 
 
Strengthening the negotiating arm of the WTO  
When we began celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the WTO, it was expected that by the 
time of this Tenth Ministerial Conference we would a rrive at an agreement, at least in principle, on 
all the Doha Round issues. 
 
Yet progress on the crucial topics has been minima l or non-existent. This Ministerial Conference 
will probably approve a limited package of agreements.  
If that package were to include agreement to abo lish agricultural export subsidies, 57 years after 
having done so for industrial goods, as well as agreement on a package of measures in favour of the least developed countries, that would constitute a success. 
 
Doha or no Doha  
The growth rate of world trade has fallen below th at of global GDP. One of the structural reasons 
has been the loss of momentum of the multilateral trade liberalization process.  It therefore seems to me that the ongoing discussion as to whether or not the Doha Round is still 
alive is a sterile one. The real question is whether or not we are capable of preserving and 
strengthening the WTO's negotiating arm.  
We are all agreed on continuing the negotiation of the outstanding Doha Round issues. After 
14 years of negotiations, we must decide which elements have worked and which we need to change, which bases of negotiation are working and which are not, in agriculture as well as in 
NAMA, services, standards, intellectual property and other topical issues in the world economy. 
 WT/MIN(15)/ST/4

  Conclusion 
 Ladies and gentlemen, the WTO is a global public good. It belongs to all its Members. Let us strengthen it. United we can improve and st rengthen the multilateral trading system. 
 
Mexico reiterates its strong commitment to achieving this.

RÉSUMÉ: L'Agence des médicaments et des produits alimentaires (FDA) émet une règle finale 
interdisant l'utilisation de certains matériels issus de bovins dans les aliments destinés à la 
consommation humaine, y compris les compléments alimentaires, et dans les cosmétiques, afin de 
faire face au risque potentiel d'encéphalopathie spongiforme bovine (ESB). La FDA a désigné les produits suivants comme des matériels d'origine bovine prohibés: matériels à risque spécifiés, 
intestins grêles de tous les bovins, sauf ceux dont l'iléon distal a été retiré, matériels issus de 
bovins invalides non ambulants, matériels de bovins n'ayant pas été inspectés et approuvés et 
viande de bœuf désossée mécaniquement. Cette mesure est prise dans le but de réduire à un niveau minimum l'exposition humaine à certains matériels issus de bovins susceptibles de 
renfermer l'agent de l'ESB.

El Ministerio de Medio Ambiente, Recursos Hídricos y Agricultura publicó la

Ministerio impuso la prohibición por medio de la Decisión N° 97903, de 12 de diciembre de 2016  
(día 13 del tercer mes del año 1438 de la Hégira), debido al brote de gripe aviar altamente 
patógena detectado en Ucrania.

de la enfermedad en Ucrania . De conformidad con lo establecido en el cap ítulo 10.4 del Código
