Here in Geneva blow it quite real and rain whipping in your face when you stick your

nose out. Yesterday when the WTO OMC 8 would open it was wrong on the speaker system. now how this can be done at a conference center. It took an hour before it was dissolved. All sat patiently behind. Little is impressed by it, but clearly will be traveling from all over the world, so maybe not an hour here and there doing something, but the undersigned can not get away and think about whether it had been in Sweden if you sat there and waited.

To sit and listen to the views of 153 countries from around the world is impressive just like to sit more than 2000 in the premises. Here are 153 countries and 4 and again in each representation is eight in the room, since there are more outside.

Of course it is sad that you can not get an agreement in the WTO, particularly now that the crises in many economies and companies are going a little so and so, when was increased exchanges between countries strengthen both jobs and the economy.

To meet trade ministers from Indonesia, United Arab Emirates, Mexico and Saudi Arabia are both exciting and instructive but also shows the globalized violence we live in.

Changed just a few words with the Minister of Commerce from Taiwan at the lunch table for them is the WTO really important, which is not surprising given that the WTO is the recognized members and do not live in the shadow of China.
Then, they have good products and innovations and which is itself strongly in the market.

Mingle yesterday with the African countries working together for more entrepreneurship was also exciting, especially the meeting with two MPs from Gana, each one was a Social Democrat also gave a new impetus. an invitation to come to visit they promised. Something to look forward to.

That agreement is now clear what the procurement is of course something that many praises, but we are not capable of agreement in the WTO seems as if the weather and the hassles of technology becomes a mirror.

Now we await the afternoon, when Russia should be admitted as members, which will please many but there are those who do not believe there is a long way to go before it will work well in everyday life, free trade alts.


A little of each as a father through the thoughts in writing from Geneva. Carina
