ASSISTANCE TECHNIQUE 
Les États-Unis donnent 942 305 dollars EU au programme de 
formation de l'OMC en faveur  des pays en développement 
Les États-Unis ont fait un don de 942 305 dollars EU au Fonds global d'affectation spéciale pour le 
Programme de Doha pour le développement (FGASPDD) pour 2008.   
 
Ce don servira à financer des programmes d'assistance technique et des activités de formation à l'intention des pays en développement, des pays les moins avancés et des économies en 
transition.  Le but est de permettre à ces pays  de participer de manière plus effective aux 
négociations à l'OMC, et de faire en sorte qu'ils  bénéficient pleinement des résultats obtenus dans 
le cadre de ces négociations.   
 
Le Directeur général Pascal Lamy a déclaré:  "Je me félicite de ce nouveau don qui démontre que les États-Unis sont toujours résolus à aider les pays en développement à tirer avantage du 
système commercial multilatéral et à mieux s'intégrer dans l'économie mondiale".   
 Mme Susan Schwab, Représentante des États-Unis pour les questions commerciales 
internationales, a affirmé:  "Le succès des négociations commerciales du Cycle de Doha 
contribuera au développement et permettra à des millions de personnes dans le monde de sortir de la pauvreté.  Il aidera ainsi nombre de nos partenaires commerciaux à travers le monde à 
participer pleinement à ces négociations et au marché mondial."

SPECIAL SESSION OF THE DISPUTE SETTLEMENT BODY 
 
Report by the Chairman, Ambassador Ronald Saborío Soto,  
to the Trade Negotiations Committee  
 
 1. Following my written report in July
1, I held consultations with interested delegations and 
groups of delegations to discuss the way forward towards a rapid conclusion of the negotiations 
mandated by Ministers.2  These consultations also allowed delega tions to provide their first, informal 
reactions to the document that I issued under my own responsibility in July.3  This July document 
includes a consolidated draft legal text of possibl e changes to the DSU, which is based primarily on 
Members' recent revised drafting proposals but also  contains some drafting suggestions I have made 
on specific issues in light of recent discussions.4  The July document also includes a thematic 
overview of the various issues under discussion in our negotiations.5 
2. Based on these consultations, in November I convened an informal meeting of the DSB 
Special Session to offer participants an opportunity to react to the July document and discuss future 
work in our negotiations.  At the meeting, delega tions endorsed the consolidated draft legal text 
contained in the July document as basis for our fu ture work.  Delegations were also in support of 
continuing our substantive consultations in a format  comparable to our work earlier this year, in 
various formats, with each set of consultations being concluded by an informal meeting of the 
DSB Special Session to report to the entire Membership on progress. 
3. Subsequently, during the period 3-5 December, I held a set of substantive consultations in 
various formats, to discuss some of the substantive issues on the basis of the draft legal text contained 
in the July document.  An informal meeting of the DSB Special Session concluded the week's work. 
4. I intend to hold similar sets of substantive c onsultations and informal meetings of the DSB 
Special Session on a regular basis.  
5. The negotiations will continue to be Membe r-driven.  Reaching convergence will require 
additional flexibility in Members' positions.  We ne ed to make progress in a steady and constructive 
manner because on most issues much still needs to be done before we can successfully fulfill our 
mandate.
