WTO: the new "Rules" text is out... and the Fisheries subsidies text is off (the table) ... or at least, so it looks!

Ambassador Valles Galmés of Uruguay, Chair of the Negotiating Group on Rules, released on Friday 19 December 2008 a document with revised versions of the text on Anti-dumping and on the Agreement of Subsidies and Countervailing Measures.

For Fisheries Subsidies there is not such "text" but rather a "...roadmap [that] identifies the key questions that we need to address in order to reconcile the approaches and advance our work in this area."

The document dated 19 December 2008, with WTO reference TN/RL/W/236, is available at the WTO website.
