Foreword by the Director-General This year marks the 10th Anniversary of the WTO. It is an occasion for us to reflect on the ten years that have passed and consider ways of preserving and improving those things we have done well, while addressing areas where we can do better. As one of the contributions to this exercise we have included a special section in this year's Annual Report to review some of the important developments in the WTO since 1995 and to identify some of the challenges that lie ahead. On balance, I can say with confidence that these past ten years have been a success. We have learned important lessons about transparency and inclusiveness, and that there is no alternative to the global trading system in international 2. The increasing public interest in the WTOs work since its creation in 1995 has been latched by a growing demand for more information about the organization and the multilateral trading system. The WTO Secretariat has worked to meet this expectation by expanding its information activities to include a broader range of publications, an extensive Internet site and numerous outreach activities This Annual Report is a guide and compendium covering the institutional aspects of the WTO, its regular activities, the work of WTo Members, and the Secretariat's budget and staff. The World Trade Report, published at mid-year, provides research and analysis of problems and issues which currently confront the global trading system In the fall of each year the WTO publishes its detailed compilation of Intemational Trade Statistics. These annual publications constitute a comprehensive review of trade issues, developments and initiatives for each year. They are part of the WTOs continuing efforts to work in a manner which is transparent, informative and in tune with the expectations of the public around the worid.
