Multilateral Agricultural Framework

Multilateral Agricultural Framework in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, multilateral agricultural framework is: an idea emerging in the later stages of the Tokyo Round for a mechanism which would oversee the negotiating results in agriculture, and which also would provide a forum for the exchange of information aimed at preventing problems in agricultural trade. The entries on trade policy are here. In particular, it was thought that the framework would eliminate continuing political and commercial confrontations in this sector. The proposal also aimed to establish an International Agriculture Consultative Council under GATT auspices. When the Tokyo Round ended on 12 April 1979, participants were still far from an agreement on this proposal, and post-Round negotiations did not lead to a result. See also agriculture and the WTO.[1]
