	WTO \| Doha Declaration explained
		The Doha Declaration endorses the work already done, reaffirms the negotiating guidelines and procedures, and establishes some key elements of the timetable including, most importantly, the deadline for concluding the negotiations as part of a single undertaking.
		The Doha Declaration says that the “negotiations shall be limited to the transparency aspects and therefore will not restrict the scope for countries to give preferences to domestic supplies and suppliers” — it is separate from the plurilateral Government Procurement Agreement.
		The Doha Declaration endorses the work already done on electronic commerce and instructs the General Council to consider the most appropriate institutional arrangements for handling the work programme, and to report on further progress to the Fifth Ministerial Conference.

	The WTO: Doha and Beyond
		At Doha the United States engaged actively with all WTO members and was instrumental in pulling together the consensus that allowed negotiations to be launched.
		One notable feature of Doha was that countries at all stages of development were fully involved in shaping the outcome of the Ministerial.
		At Doha, neither the least-developed countries nor the developing countries with generic drug industries made a serious push on compulsory licensing for export, probably because it is becoming apparent that the generic producers are not really interested in the least-developed countries as a viable market for their generic drugs.

	Doha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Doha's demographics are unusual as the majority of residents in the city are expatriates, with Qatari nationals forming a minority.
		Doha's economy is built on the revenue the country has made from its oil and natural gas industries, and the Qatari government is rapidly trying to diversify the Qatari economy in order to move away from this dependence on oil.

	Food First: Updates from Doha
		What was agreed at Doha were: a) negotiations to clarify or revise some existing agreements, e.g., anti-dumping rules; and b) eventual negotiations for new agreements, e.g., transparency in government procurement, investment, and competition policy.
		In fact, Doha was a defeat for the developing countries, notwithstanding the resistance they--and in particular, India--put up against arm-twisting, flmail, and intimidation from the big trading powers.
		Doha was a victory for the forces with a strong interest in subverting the interests of the developing countries that form the majority of the membership of the World Trade Organization by keeping the decision-making process non-transparent and undemocratic.

	Doha
		The lesson from Doha is that the potential is there - as illustrated in the Declaration on TRIPs and Public Health, but that developing countries have to fight for it, and the support of civil society organisations and the public opinion is crucial.
		Preparation and Assessment meetings before and after the Doha MC: In a meeting in Brussels on Nov. 6th before departure to Doha we met with Pascal Lamy presented the position of the EC on the draft texts, there was room for comments and discussion of our role in Doha.
		An additional problem, which was not tackled in Doha is the fact that most of the agricultural liberalisation undertaken by the poor LDCs has been driven not by the WTO, but by World Bank and IMF structural adjustment conditionalities, which as a rule push those countries to open their markets far beyond their WTO obligations.

	Army Preparing to Close Camp Doha, Shift Operations to Other Kuwait Bases
		CAMP DOHA, Kuwait — The U.S. military base in Kuwait that has served as a staging ground for thousands of troops for two wars in Iraq is closing for good in the coming months, Army officials said.
		Camp Doha, situated on a peninsula near Kuwait City International Airport, has served its purpose since war planners hurriedly descended on the Kuwaiti port storage facility days after the 1991 Desert Storm conflict, said Col. Kurt Smith, the Coalition Forces Land Component Command Base Realignment and Closure officer.
		Camp Doha is too close to the metropolis of Kuwait City, and military activities disturb Kuwaitis' daily routines, which in turn hampers U.S. movement of forces and equipment, officials said.

	USTR - America's proposal to kickstart the Doha trade talks
		In his speech before the United Nations earlier this year, President George W. Bush laid out a bold vision for a world free of trade barriers and trade-distorting subsidies and declared that "the surest path to greater wealth is greater trade".
		If we are to wrap up the Doha negotiations by the end of 2006 as agreed, the talks urgently need energy, momentum and leadership by all WTO members, especially as we approach a critical ministerial meeting in Hong Kong.
		To unleash the potential of Doha we must first break the deadlock in the agriculture negotiations.

	Doha: the low hanging fruit (Site not responding. Last check: )
		When the Doha Development Round talks collapsed in July, I was struck by the gap between what officials say when they meet at the OECD in Paris and how they define their positions in the WTO talks in Geneva.
		The Doha Development Agenda is an opportunity to re-balance trade rules in favour of developing countries while boosting the world economy. The Doha talks reportedly collapsed largely because of disagreements over agriculture, but clearly that is not the whole story.
		In such a complex world, with such seemingly intractable challenges, the Doha Development Agenda is the low hanging fruit of the world’s multilateral architecture, as well as the low-cost insurance against the revival of protectionism and trade wars.

	USTR - Keeping Doha Alive
		Progress was made as more than 150 nations gathered to give developing countries a further stake in the global trading system and move forward in efforts to break down barriers to the free flow of agricultural and manufactured goods and services.
		What is more, an agreement to make deep cuts in tariffs and open up quotas on agriculture goods will pave the way for success in the Doha Round's other goals for reducing trade-distorting agriculture subsidies, cutting tariffs on industrial goods and obtaining meaningful new openings for services.
		The United States is proud to lead the world in providing such assistance, and as part of the Doha Round, we announced a doubling of our contributions over the next five years from the current level of roughly $1.3 billion a year to $2.7 billion annually.
