    There are a number of ways of looking at the World Trade Organization. It is an organization for trade opening. It is a forum for governments to negotiate trade agreements. It is a place for them to settle trade disputes. It operates a system of trade rules. Essentially, the WTO is a place where member governments try to sort out the trade problems they face with each other. The WTO was born out of negotiations, and everything the WTO does is the result of negotiations. The bulk of the WTO’s current work comes from the 1986–94 negotiations called the Uruguay Round and earlier negotiations under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade/…

    The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations. At its heart are the WTO agreements, negotiated and signed by the bulk of the world’s trading nations and ratified in their parliaments. The goal is to help producers of goods and services, exporters, and importers conduct their business. Where countries have faced trade barriers and wanted them lowered, the negotiations have helped to open markets for trade. But the WTO is not just about opening markets, and in some circumstances its rules support maintaining trade barriers for example, to protect consumers or prevent the spread of disease.…

However the European Community (EC) has gradually enacted its own legal law to protect geographical indications. Finally, in the EC it is no longer required that a product has individual characteristics by its geographical origin as long as consumers associate the products with a certain geographical origin. This has departed from the limit of traditional protection of GIs. Due to this departure, the US and Australia requested consultations with the EC in respect of the alleged lack of protection of trademarks and geographical indications for agricultural products and foodstuffs in the EC.…
