The final report of the Warwick Commission - “The Multilateral Trade Regime: Which Way Forward?” – will be launched on Thursday 6^th December at the World Trade Organization, Geneva.

This first report of the Warwick Commission is the result of a 10 month investigation by a team of 18 commissioners from around the world. The result is a thought-provoking report which reflects the thorough debate had by these experts on the future of the world trade system.

The report presents a series of recommendations that are considered to be insightful and challenging as well as practicable. By drawing on the expertise of commissioners from four continents and a variety of backgrounds, the report presents a vigorous analysis of the current trade system with clear ideas about how to take it forward in the 21^st century.

It is hoped that the report will be well-received by trade expert, policy makers and members of the lay community, but most importantly, that it will make a valuable contribution to the debate about the current state of the trade system.

The report will be launched at 11am on Thursday 6^th December at the World Trade Organization in Geneva. A press release will be available on the website after this time as well as a podcast interview with Pierre Pettigrew, Chair of the Warwick Commission. The report will also be available to download.
