The current WTO negotiations form the background of this study. Central is the question of whether the hopes of many developing countries for better market access have been met and what limitations their agricultural exports are still subject to after completion of the Uruguay Round.
Four areas are investigated: tariff policy, preference systems, sanitary and phytosanitary standards and the role of transnational corporations. For each area current proposals for reform are discussed and joined into main demands.
