ABSTRACT
The current GATT negotiations known as the Uruguay Round have entered their last phase; they are expected to be completed by the end of this year, i.e., 1990.2 Regarding agricultural trade, attention to date has been focused on the major disagreements between the EC and the USA about the speed, content and techniques of trade liberalization. It is feared that unless they are resolved, the Uruguay Round as a whole may be jeopardized. In the event the implications for developing countries of the various proposals for reforms under consideration at GATT, as advanced by major trading nations, have not received as intensive an examination as they deserve in the light of the great importance of agriculture in developing countries.
