NOTE FROM THE SECRETARIAT 
 
SECOND GLOBAL REVIEW OF AID FOR TRADE 
 
6 AND 7 JULY 2009 
 
Conference procedures and logistics
 
 
 
 The purpose of this Note is to inform y ou of the conference procedures and logistic 
arrangements that are being put in place for the Gl obal Review over the period from 6 to 7 July 2009 . 
 
I. CONFERENCE PROCEDURES 
 All Sessions of the Second Global Review meeting are being organized along the lines of an 
interactive discussion.  However, in view of the natu re of the event, the large number of speakers, and 
the importance of giving the floor to as many peopl e as possible, delegations are requested to keep 
their comments and interventions as brief as possible (ideally no more than two minutes during Sessions 1-7, and no more than four minutes during Session 8, which is intended to solicit views on 
the way forward).  It would help in the management  of time if statements ca n be made on behalf of 
Groups (e.g, LDC Group, African Group, ACP Group, etc.) which reflect, to the extent possible, common group positions.   The moderators of each Session will be inst ructed to request that speakers making 
interventions from the floor respect these guidelines.  (Delegations are reminded that they will also 
have an opportunity to make statements during th e General Council debate on Aid for Trade which is 
tentatively scheduled to take place on 28 and 29 July 2009).  
II. LOGISTIC ARRANGEMENTS 
1. Security arrangements 
 Delegates will be allowed to come into th e building during these two days with their normal 
WTO badges.  However, the names of those pers ons other than delegates holding a regular WTO 
badge, who will be attending meetings at the Ce ntre William Rappard (CWR) during this period, 
should be communicated to the Control Identification Office (BCI@wto.org) by Monday, 29 June 
2009 .  Delegations are also requested to provide the name of their Head of Delegation for the Global 
Review. This is essential in order to ensure th at the necessary security arrangements can be made. 
 
2. Parking arrangements 
Attention is drawn to the current difficulties as far as parking in the CWR is concerned which 
is due to the reduction of the number of parking spaces. 
 Only vehicles of Heads of Delegations for the Aid-for-Trade event will be authorized to park 
in the CWR car park;  these vehicles must have a yellow badge displayed on their windscreens.  For WT/INF/155

  facilitating access for other delegates to the WTO,  vehicles with a red badge displayed on their 
windscreens will be allowed to drop off participants  at the WTO premises.  These vehicles will then 
be authorized to park in the S écheron car park (chemin des Mines). 
 Other delegates' vehicles will only be authorized  to park in the Sécheron car park (chemin des 
Mines) provided they have a blue badge on their windscreens.  Please note that space in the Sécheron 
car park (chemin des Mines) is very limited and that no guarantee can be given that there will be 
space available for all vehicles. 
 
 Access badges for participants and for vehicles can be obtained from the Control 
Identification Office (BCI) on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 July 2009 from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.

information.
