	Marrakesh Agreement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Marrakesh Agreement, signed in Marrakech, Morocco, on April 15, 1994, established the World Trade Organization, which came into being upon its entry into force on January 1, 1995.
		The Marrakesh Agreement developed out of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which it includes; but it supplemented it with several other agreements, on such issues as trade in services, sanitary and plant health measures, trade-related aspects of intellectual property, and technical barriers to trade.
		The various agreements which make up the Marrakesh Agreement combine as an indivisible whole; no entity can be party to any one agreement without being party to them all.

		An agreement at Marrakesh was necessary to restore the much-needed momentum to the process of negotiations and pave the way towards ratification of the Kyoto Protocol.
		This is reflected in the Marrakesh Accords, through such provisions as the inclusion of sinks in the CDM, a generous allowance of additional sink activities, the restriction of the share of proceeds clause to the CDM alone, and an ambiguous definition of supplementarity.
