Before I conclude, let me tel! you a little secret. And I learnt this secret in visiting thelibrary of the WTO. There is in this library an apocryphal and funny Secretariat guide to thelanguage of trade negotiators in the old GATT. Now this guide tells you that, in those years,when negotiators said "Mr Chairman, we seek a balanced agreement", what they really meantwas "this agreement had better contain everything we demand"; when the negotiators saidin those times "we have demonstrated flexibility", they really meant "we have successfullyconcealed our intransigence"; and when the negotiators announced "we are prepared to makeour contribution to an ambitious outcome", they really meant "we will only support agreementswhere others make all the concessions, and we make none"! This attitude, as we all very wellknow, is part of our past. This is the past because today, what we really need are negotiators that are bold, open-minded and prepared to take some risks, as successful shareholders and stakeholders do it.Ministers, we all know that, often face the difficult task of explaining to national constituenciesthat they gain something in negotiations, even if the negotiating process is not over. The manypeople who benefit from open trade are usually politically silent, whereas those fewer whoare affected by opening trade are politically much louder. So we all understand the need ofeach and every delegation to take home some gain from trade negotiations to rebalance thisasymmetry between winners and losers. The reality is that the true magic of these negotiations is to achieve results where allparticipants are winners, all will be able to declare victory. But for that, some risks have tobe taken. A popular Chinese proverb says "If you dont go into the cave of the tiger, how willyou get its cub?" —— in other words: nothing ventured, nothing gained. |
