IPC Roundtable Discussion —
Topics in Agricultural Trade: The Sugar and Cotton Cases
Washington, DC
January 13, 2005
Pedro de Camargo discussed the cotton and sugar cases that the Brazilian government brought against the United States and the European Union, respectively. De Camargo said that "in bringing the cases, Brazil only hoped to expose some of the issues that could serve as a foundation for their position in the Doha Round negotiations." Brazil did not expect to win. He said preparing the cases helped policymakers identify which developed country policies are most damaging to Brazilian exports and to develop a solid position in the Doha Round negotiations targeted at changing the rules that are most harmful.
