Nine reasons why Indias WTO vetoshocked the world
(Reuters) - Indias tough diplomacy blocked a landmark world
trade treaty late on Thursday despite last-ditch talks to rescue
what would have been the first global trade reform since the
creation of the World Trade Organization 19 years ago
Trade diplomats in Geneva have said they are flabbergasted
astonished and dismayed and described Indias position as
hostage-taking and suicidal Here are nine reasons why they
say Indias stance made no sense
1 India has been a vocal backer of world trade reform It has
criticised the small clubs of countries led by the United States
and European Union that lost patience with the slow pace of
global reforms and started to discuss faster liberalising of trade in
certain areas such as services and information technology
products India is not in any of these groups But Thursdays veto
is likely to give them even more momentum as hope of a global

trade pact long in doubt appears to be over
2 Indias veto may be the beginning of the end for the WTO
Trade experts say that if the WTOs 20-year-old rulebook does
not evolve more and more trade will be governed by new
regional agreements such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership which
will have their own rules and systems of resolving disputes That could lead to a fragmented
world of separate trade blocs
3 Indias new government was widely seen as being pro-business And yet it blocked a deal
on trade facilitation a worldwide streamlining of customs rules that would cut container
handling times guarantee standard procedures for getting goods to and from their
destinations and kill off vast amounts of paperwork at borders around the world Some
estimates said it would add $1 trillion to the world economy as well as 21 million jobs 18
million of them in developing countries
4 Nobody else was negotiating Thursdays meeting was simply supposed to formally adopt
the final trade negotiation text into the WTO rulebook following its agreement by ministers
at a meeting in Bali last December Indias then Trade Minister Anand Sharma hailed the
Bali deal as a landmark in the history of the WTO We were able to arrive at a balanced
outcome which secures our supreme national interest Sharma said at the time India did
not hint at any further objection until days before it wielded its veto and even then it made
no concrete demands until the WTO meeting to adopt the new rules was in progress
5 India did not object to the deal it vetoed Its objections were unconnected to trade
facilitation It blocked the trade facilitation deal to try to get what it wanted on something
else food security
6 India had already got what it wanted on food security At Bali it forced a big concession
from the United States and European Union which initially strongly opposed its demands
but agreed that India could stockpile food at subsidised prices reversing the trend of trying
to reduce and remove trade-distorting food subsidies globally The arrangement was
temporary but the WTO agreed to work towards a permanent solution within four years
by the end of 2017
7 Indias demands reversed its previous position India blocked the trade facilitation deal
because it wanted the WTO to move to a permanent solution more quickly than the four-
year timeline But diplomats say that India was offered a two-year timeframe before Bali
but it insisted on four
8 Indias veto could put it in legal danger As part of the Bali deal India won a pledge that
nobody would bring a trade dispute to challenge its food stockpiling programme which is
widely thought to have broken the WTO rules However diplomats say that Bali was a
package of 10 agreements and the only legally binding part was trade facilitation If that
fails the package unravels and India may lose its protection
9 India was isolated Cuba Venezuela and Bolivia voiced support but diplomats say other
big developing countries such as Russia China and Brazil as well as Indias neighbour
Pakistan were among the chief opponents of its veto Poorer countries stand to lose most
WTO chief Roberto Azevedo told the WTO meeting after the deal collapsed Theyrsquore the
ones with fewer options who are at risk of being left behind Theyrsquore the ones that may no
longer have a seat at the table
