Abstract: Abstract Among the objectives of the Bretton Woods system was a freer international exchange of goods, coupled with non-discriminatory trade relations, with national goals being pursued within the constraints of a multilateral framework. Recent actions, however, indicate that governments are moving outside the agreed framework; national priorities increasingly take precedence over multilateral commitments. Concern over these developments culminated in the meeting in September 1986 in Punta del Este, Uruguay, of ministers from the 91 contracting parties of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). As a result of this meeting, a declaration was made announcing the start of a new round of multilateral trade negotiations. The list of topics to be discussed is long; the negotiations that are about to commence may have important implications for the trading system for the rest of the century and beyond.
