      Countries like Brazil and South Africa were never members of ITA
      -1 (International Technology Agreement -1 under WTO). India did
      sign it, and there is a great amount of internal consternation
      lately that it </font><font face="Verdana">altogether</font><font
      face="Verdana"> killed India's IT manufacturing base. India has
      recently announced  a policy to leverage some exception clauses of
      ITA -1  - like of public procurement and some security
      considerations, to provide preferential market access to domestic
      manufacturers. Interestingly, it seems that India has refused to
      participate in the ITA round 2 being proposed/ negotiated....<br>

                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

                Representative Michael Froman said in a statement.
                “Unfortunately, a diverse group of members participating
                in the negotiations determined that China’s current
                position makes progress impossible at this stage.”</p>

                its support to 150 tariff lines, or two thirds of the

                <div>An important civil society initiative that is doing

                  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>
