G-20 Reminded Of Free Trade Pledge

G-20 Reminded Of Free Trade Pledge: "A newly published report from three of the world's leading trade and development organizations seeks to remind G-20 nations of their commitment, made in November 2011, to resist protectionist measures in recognition that freer trade can speed the global economic recovery.

The report - from the World Trade Organization, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development - has noted a recent deterioration in the trade policies of G-20 nations.

G20 leaders in November 2011 endorsed the benefits of the multilateral trading system and free trade, and at the time committed to a moratorium on the introduction of new protectionist measures, and to review previously introduced restrictive policies."
