How
to become a member of the WTOArticle XII
of the WTO Agreement states that accession to the WTO
will be “on terms to be agreed” between the
acceding government and the WTO. Accession to the WTO is
essentially a process of negotiation — quite
different from the process of accession to other
international entities, like the IMF, which is largely an
automatic process.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Because each accession Working Party takes decisions by
consensus, all interested WTO Members must be in
agreement that their individual concerns have been met
and that outstanding issues have been resolved in the
course of their bilateral and multilateral negotiations. All
documentation examined by the accession Working Party
during the process of negotiation remains restricted
until completion of the process.

Who
can apply
back
to top

“Any
state or customs territory having full autonomy in the
conduct of its trade policies is eligible to accede to
the WTO on terms agreed between it and WTO Members”.
(Article XII of the WTO Agreement).

The
request for accessionback
to top

The
accession process commences with the submission of a
formal written request for accession by the applicant
government. This request is considered by the General
Council which establishes a Working Party to examine the
accession request and, ultimately, to submit the findings
of the Working Party to the General Council for approval.
The Working Party is open to all Members of the WTO.

formatting may change (eg. paragraph numbering) when

Submission
of a memorandum on the foreign trade regimeback
to topThe
applicant government presents a memorandum covering all
aspects of its trade and legal regime to the Working
Party. This memorandum forms the basis for detailed fact
finding by the Working Party. ([You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
in MS Word document WT/ACC/1 (27 pages, 72 KB) outlines
the major headings to be examined).

Subsequent
Working Party meetings will see the examination of
questions posed by WTO Members based on the information
provided in the memorandum and the replies provided by
the applicant government.

Conditions
of entryback
to top

After
examining all aspects of the existing trade and legal
regimes of the acceding government the Working Party goes
into the substantive part of the multilateral
negotiations involved in accessions. This determines the
terms and conditions of entry for the applicant
government. Terms and conditions include commitments to
observe WTO rules and disciplines upon accession and
transitional periods required to make any legislative or
structural changes where necessary to implement these
commitments.

Bilateral
negotiationsback
to top

At
the same time, the applicant government engages in
bilateral negotiations with interested Working Party
members on concessions and commitments on market access
for goods and services. The results of these bilateral
negotiations are consolidated into a document which is
part of the final “accession package”.

The
final “accession package” back
to top

The
“accession package” consists of three documents
which represent the results of both the multilateral and
bilateral phases outlined above. These are:

a
Report of the Working Party containing a summary
of proceedings and conditions of entry and a
Protocol of Accession.

Schedules
of market access commitments in goods and
services agreed between the acceding government
and WTO Members.

Approval
of the “accession package”back
to top

Once
both the Working Party's Draft Report and Protocol of
Accession and the market access commitments in goods and
services are completed to the satisfaction of members of
the Working Party, the “accession package” is
adopted at a final formal meeting of the Working Party.

The
documents are then presented to the General Council or
the Ministerial Conference for adoption. Once approved by
the General Council or the Ministerial Conference, the
accessions package is redistributed as a non-restricted
document.

Two
final documents will be issued:

The
Decision of the General Council
The
Protocol of Accession of the new entrant a
Protocol of Accession annexed to the Report which
states that the country accedes to the WTO
Agreement, defines the Schedules and outlines
final provisions for timing of acceptance of the
Protocol and full membership of the WTO.

Becoming
a full memberback
to top

Once
approved by the General Council of Ministerial
Conference, the applicant is then free to sign the
Protocol of Accession stating that it accepts the
approved “accessions package” subject to
ratification in its national parliament. Normally three
months is given from signature of the Protocol of
Accession for this to take place.

Thirty
days after the applicant government notifies the WTO
Secretariat that it has completed its ratification
procedures, the applicant government becomes a full
Member of the WTO.

This is where China manipulates the WTO free trade market with their currency and that is why the Doha Round (Bush Days) was created dealing with tariffs requirements in order to level the playing field in so so manner. Currencies of countries wanting to be a WTO member must be traded globally. Oh, and this is a World Bank thingy too.

Has nothing to do with it. Only thing that matters is that it is traded globally. WTO could care less on the pegging or floating.

Only thing the WTO is trying to do these days is stop the manipulation. Same rules apply since 1994 for all then and now.. ;)

Term hard peg Definition: Establishing a fixed exchange rate between one national currency (usually that of a small country) and another national currency (usually that of an industrial power). One country, in other words, "pegs" the value of its currency to the value of another currency. This is commonly done by countries with a history of monetary instability is used as a means of restoring and maintaining order. This U.S. dollar is frequently used for a hard peg by other smaller nations. The result of a hard peg is to eliminate control by the pegging nation and relying on the actions of the targeting nation.

doesnt mean the currency isnt freely traded !

Hard pegs usually go hand in hand with sound fiscal and structural policies and low inflation. They tend to remain in place for a long time, thus providing a higher degree of certainty for pricing international transactions.

international transaction means WTO assession peroid !
