137/ Advanced Trade Policy Course under way at the WTO
7 October 2019
Twenty-seven participants from around the world are attending a two-month Advanced Trade Policy Course (ATPC) from 7 October to 29 November 2019 at the WTO headquarters in Geneva. The course was opened by H.E. Mr Peter Matt, Liechtenstein’s Permanent Representative to the WTO, and Ms Bridget Chilala, Director of the WTO’s Institute for Training and Technical Cooperation.
Opening the course, Ambassador Matt encouraged the participants to adopt a constructive approach to learning as well as to engage proactively so as to benefit as much as possible from the exchange of ideas and perspectives with each other and with the experts taking part in the course.
The course will focus on helping participants develop and apply practical skills on issues such as trade negotiations, dispute settlement, trade monitoring, and trade policy analysis, formulation and implementation.
Both the legal and economic aspects of WTO rules and disciplines will be examined in a series of interactive sessions including case studies, simulations and exercises. Roundtable discussions will provide a platform for practical exchanges, sharing of experiences and best practices as well as debating present-day trade topics. Participants will be expected to prepare and deliver a presentation relating to a trade policy topic. More information on the course can be found here.
The ATPC represents the highest level of training (level 3) in the WTO’s progressive learning programme. It is targeted at participants who already possess a sound knowledge of the WTO and its agreements.
