 The Doha Development Round: A Discussion with Ambassador Sergio Marchi - Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
Ambassador Marchi characterized the Doha agenda as an attempt by the WTO community to bridge the "development divide," or to recognize that the benefits of trade have not been equally and equitably shared.
Ambassador Marchi, however, argued that though national level outreach and consultations remain the first priority, the WTO should complement these efforts because (1) it is an international institution that should be reflecting best practices, and (2) it can help to compensate if countries don't address transparency well.
Ambassador Marchi expressed his disappointment over the missed deadline on TRIPS and health, but maintained that the failure to reach consensus was a collective responsibility, which stemmed in part from the mixing of commercial issues and humanitarian concerns.

 Act Up-Paris | WTO & Generics : WTO Chairman Sergio Marchi is changing the Doha Ministerial Declaration
By affirming that « the mandate conferred by Doha was to find solutions for the poorest of the poor in the most remote areas », Sergio Marchi is deliberately changing the Ministerial Declaration of the November 2001 Doha Conference, and playing into the tactics of rich countries and pharmaceutical corporations.
This language should leave Mr Marchi no room for his interpretation : the framework was clearly set by the Trade Ministers last year, to deal with public health problems for all developing countries.
Act Up-Paris demands that Sergio Marchi immediately withdraw his false and pernicious assertions which, by making a travesty of the public health mandate for the crucial negotiations at hand in the WTO, are blocking a solution on the critical issue of access to health products for people with diseases in poor countries.
