Mr. John Wilson, the World Bank's Lead Economist for the Development Research Group, gave a video presentation titled "APEC's Role in Trade Liberalization" contributing to discussions at an APEC International Symposium on the "Catalytic Role of the APEC Process: Behind the Border, Beyond the Bogor Goals".
Held on March 14-15, 2006 at Chiba University, the Symposium was sponsored by the University and APEC to clarify the organization's institutional role following changes in economic circumstances as a result of the WTO Doha Rounds. In order to achieve the Bogor goals to further free and open trade and investment, the symposium examined various "vehicles" such as APEC's Individual Action Plan, Collective Action Plan, bilateral free trade agreements and "behind the border actions" that APEC has been using, and explored roadmaps for their integration.
With extensive experience in development trade policy issues, Mr. Wilson's presentation was given on Day 2 as part of Session Four : "Roadmap" beyond the Bogor Goals.
