Boeing and Airbus, for long, had dominated the market for large passenger aircraft. The battle often took acrimonious turns with even the governments pitching in for the companies. One such issue cropped up in late 2004. In late 2004, the US accused the European governments of subsidizing Airbus, giving it an unfair edge over Boeing. They filed a complaint before the World Trade Organization (WTO) in this regard. European Union (EU) too filed a counter-complaint alleging indirect subsidization of Boeing through offer of military and space contracts. The three month time to resolve the issue mutually expired on April 6, 2005. Now, analysts were wondering what turn the issue would take.

Since the formation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in 1947, its main objective has been to promote international trade between nations by reducing agricultural tariffs, export subsidies and domestic support, the major barriers to trade. To achieve its objective, GATT monitored eight rounds of negotiations starting with Geneva round in 1947 to the Uruguay round that lasted for 9 years. However, except the Uruguay round that succeeded in setting targets regarding reduction in tariffs, domestic support and subsidies by both developed and developing countries none of the rounds was successful. What were the reasons for the continuous failure of the rounds, when the objective of all the member countries has been the same?
n 1995, World Trade Organisation (WTO) replaced GATT to carry forward the same noble objective – remove barriers and uplift the developing nations. The major negotiating round post WTO’s formation was ‘The Doha Development Round’ in July 2008. However, not surprisingly, this round also collapsed on the 9th day on the issue of usage of ‘Special Safeguard Mechanism’ by developing countries. Interestingly, Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs) between two or three neighbouring countries have had a higher rate of success than Multilateral Trade Agreements (MTAs). When RTAs could be successful, why couldn’t developing and developed countries meet on a consensus with regard to MTAs? In spite of benefits from trade liberalisation, why do these trade negotiations continuously fail? Who should be blamed for the failure of the Doha Round? The case delves into the same issues. On November 15th 2008, few of the member countries decided to conclude the Doha round and meet in December 2008 for the same. Will this round be successful? The case also explores into the measures that need to be taken to make all the member countries think and act alike.

Globalisation and the introduction of the MultiFibre Agreement (MFA) in 1974 had changed the Ready Made Garment (RMG) industry of Bangladesh. Within a very short period of time the RMG sector of Bangladesh attained prominence in terms of its contribution to Bangladesh's gross domestic product, foreign exchange earnings and employment. On January 1 st 1995, the World Trade Organisation replaced the MFA with the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC). According to the ATC, by 2005, the RMG sector had to be fully integrated into GATT rules and the existing quotas had to come to an end. The removal of quotas threatened to increase competition in the global garment industry and limit Bangladesh's growth. But Bangladesh could receive benefits under the Generalised System of Preferences and gain access to the EU and US markets, if it met the International Labour Organisation standards.
