Examples of WTO in a sentence
Many members that have joined the WTO since 1995 committed to seek GPA membership as part of their terms for accession, including China and Russia—both of which continue to be engaged in GPA accession negotiations.
Any WTO member may accede to the GPA on terms agreed between that member and all GPA parties.
Accession shall take place by deposit with the Director‑General of the WTO of an instrument of accession that states the terms so agreed.
Others argue that participation in the GPA not only maintains U.S. companies’ ability to compete for foreign government contracts, but it also gives the United States leverage to negotiate greater market access and better terms with WTO members in accession negotiations (e.g., China).
To make changes, a party must notify the WTO Committee on Government Procurement and explain the likely consequences for the mutually agreed coverage of the agreement.
