The negotiations in Geneva have been put on hold due to differences between China and many of the WTO members involved, Washington says. The group, which includes the US and EU, has been working to develop a list of products to add to the agreement for over a year, and had hoped to complete a final list this month. (See Bridges Weekly, 6 June 2013)</p>

    <div>An important civil society
      initiative that is doing the rounds. Also enclosed two documents
      on Information Technology Agreement (ITA) - 2  .....<br>
      <br>
      This shows that there is more to globalisation and people's rights
      and livelihoods than what normally appears to the starry eyed
      Internet-ists. Integration may generally be good, however,
      integration on what and whose terms is always the key question....
      And that is the democratic global governance question, that many
      in the IG space want to bypass in preference to a kind of techno
      determinism, ..<br>
      <br>
      Also gives a pointer to civil society's role. I dont say that
      trade protectionism is necessarily good, in all situations and at
      all times.... But quite often trade agreements have very strong
      impact on people's livelihoods and other rights... Those global
      companies who would like to promote unrestrained global trade have
      their interests already well represented. The question is, who
      will represent the interests of the ordinary people, those who
      cant be present in the global policy spaces.... That role falls to
      civil society. And it is easy to see that although not always,
      quite (very?) often these interests may not be the same as that of
      the big business. This is the reason for civil society to keep a
      respectful distance from big business lobbyists, at least in its
      internal working. <br>
