Transition from GATT to WTO: a most pragmatic operation

Article Abstract:

An effective transition agreement was negotiated by states parties that were forsaking the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1947 for the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement established during the Uruguay Round. The rights and obligations needed to be determined for states remaining subject only to the 1947 agreement, states shifting from the 1947 agreement to the WTO Agreement, states that were to be parties to both agreements and states entering the WTO agreement that were never part of the 1947 agreement. These rights were negotiated in 1994 as part of the WTO Agreement ratification process.
