ASISTENCIA TÉCNICA 
Suiza dona 200.000 francos suiz os para financ iar proyectos 
relacionados con las normas sobr e inocuidad de los alimentos, 
sanidad animal y preservación  de los vegetales en 2008  
La OMC ha recibido de Suiza 200.000 francos suizos destinados a ayudar a los países en desarrollo 
a analizar y aplicar las normas internacionales sobre inocuidad de los alimentos, sanidad animal y 
preservación de los vegetales (las llamadas normas sanitarias y fitosanitarias). 
La donación está destinada al Fondo para la Ap licación de Normas y el Fomento del Comercio 
(FANFC), un programa creado conjuntamente a tal efecto por la Organización Mundial del 
Comercio, la Organización Mundial de la Salud, el Banco Mundial, la Organización Mundial de Sanidad Animal y la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación. 
Suiza se suma a otros 12 donantes que han contribuido al Fondo. 
En 2008, los fondos suizos se utilizarán para llevar a la práctica la Estrategia a Medio Plazo 
del FANFC, más concretamente su Plan Operativo para 2008-2009. La Estrategia hace hincapié en 
el papel del FANFC como instrumento de coordinación de la asistencia técnica relacionada con las 
medidas sanitarias y fitosanitarias (MSF) y de identificación de buenas prácticas a ese respecto. 
En el desempeño de esta función, el FANFC está organizando un análisis a fondo de las 
necesidades en materia sanitaria y fitosanitaria en varias regiones piloto (entre ellas América 
Central, África Oriental y un subgrupo de países de la ASEAN); está celebrando en Ginebra una serie de talleres sobre temas relacionados con cuestiones sanitarias y fitosanitarias; y continúa su 
labor de financiación y desarrollo de proyectos relacionados con las MSF en todo el mundo en 
desarrollo. 
Al planificar y prestar su asistencia, el FANFC colabora estrechamente con otras iniciativas de 
asistencia técnica en las que participa la OMC, en particular el Marco Integrado para los Países 
Menos Adelantados y la Ayuda para el Comercio. 
La Estrategia a Medio Plazo, que durará hasta 2011, tiene la finalidad de dotar al FANFC 
de 5 millones de dólares anuales para sus actividades. Desde su creación en 2002, el FANFC ha 
formado una cartera de 25 proyectos, y está financiando otras 24 donaciones para la preparación de proyectos. PRESS/510

Corea ofrece 350.000 dólares EE.UU. al programa de formación de 
la OMC en beneficio de los países en desarrollo 
Corea ha efectuado una donación de 350.000 dólares EE.UU. (alrededor de 370.000 francos 
suizos) al Fondo Fiduciario Global del Programa de Doha para el Desarrollo (FFGPDD) para 2009. 
Esta última donación eleva la contribución total de Corea a 2,6 millones de francos suizos. 
Esta donación servirá para financiar programas de asistencia técnica y actividades de formación 
destinados tanto a países en desarrollo y menos adelantados como a economías en transición.  El 
objetivo es ayudar a los países en desarrollo a conocer mejor las normas y procedimientos de la 
OMC y a cumplir sus obligaciones y ejercer sus derechos como Miembros de la OMC.  
"Agradezco esta nueva donación, que demuestra el compromiso de Corea de ayudar a los países 
en desarrollo a beneficiarse plenamente del sistema multilateral de comercio y a integrarse mejor 
en la economía mundial" declaró el Director General de la OMC, Pascal Lamy.   
El Embajador de Corea ante la OMC, Sung-Joo Lee, dijo que "Corea seguirá ayudando a los países 
más pobres y redoblará sus esfuerzos para ayudarles a desarrollar su capacidad comercial 
mejorando su conocimiento de las normas de la OMC.  Se trata de un elemento indispensable a fin de que el comercio sea un instrumento para el desarrollo".
