Please choose from the following menu:
Introduction
The newsletter "WTO News" is a free service brought to you by the International Economics Department of the Swiss Institute for International Economics and Applied Economic Research at the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland (see Details of Publication). Between one and three times a year, we publish our views on important topics related to the WTO. These include systemic issues, negotiations or dispute settlement cases. Besides, we review recently published literature on the WTO system. The single issues of WTO News may be downloaded freely in various file formats with identical contents (see Technical Advice on Downloading Files). Moreover, we invite you to use our free e-mail subscription service. "WTO News" is available in an English and a German language version, with identical contents.
We hope that this service will offer you some interesting readings. Your comments are always welcome (e-mail: service@wto-news.ch).

If it is not yet installed on your system, you may download it for free from Adobe's website at http://www.adobe.com. Our PDF files are print-optimised instead of screen-optimised. Therefore, we recommend printing the file if you have difficulties in viewing the document on your computer screen. In exceptional cases, users may experience problems printing our PDF files, depending on their hardware and/or software. Should you experience such problems, please use one of the other file formats provided, if need be the simple HTML version.
