Besides, the Information Technology Agreement adopted in Nairobi is examined. Particular emphasis is laid on the reasons and nature of disagreements between the developed and developing countries on the agenda and arrangement of the Doha round multilateral negotiations. In the final part of the article, the author assesses the prospects for resuming the WTO multilateral negotiations.
