  DRAFT Statement on 1

We would also ask that the statement “Refugees and migrants are distinct categories of persons” be removed. People with refugee status are afforded different protections from other migrants. Let’s not talk about “categories of people,” which suggests invidious distinctions rather than elucidating qualifications for international protection—especially since the next paragraph includes a figure of 244 million migrants which in fact includes both migrants and refugees, people residing in a country other than that of their birth or nationality. (...) [End of two minute statement as read on 20 July] Regarding the process of negotiating a Global Compact on Safe, Regular and Orderly Migration: Addressing the key challenges for migration governance will require States to take collective action for their collective and individual benefit, and for the benefit of migrants and their communities.

  Summary report

The session enjoyed a high level of debate between participants. Key issues covered in the debate include: (1) the critical need for transparency in the request-offer process, so that civil society and parliamentarians in all countries are informed of the requests their representatives are making in the GATS negotiations, and are fully consulted in the preparation of offers; (2) the need to involve other international organisations in providing assessments of services liberalisation in specific sectors; (3) the distinction between the 'right' to regulate, which GATS upholds, and the ability of governments to regulate services in their countries, which GATS undermines; and finally (4) the challenge to the idea of a 'Doha Development Agenda' when participants such as the EU are clearly approaching the services negotiations on the basis of their own commercial interests, without consideration of the development consequences which services liberalisation can bring.

These steps are associated with five distinct activities: stocktaking of challenges and options; identifying potential climate-smart agriculture interventions; expanding the evidence base for climate-smart agriculture objectives; assessing barriers to adoption; costing interventions; and prioritizing and planning for country-owned climate-smart agriculture strategies. The third section highlights some of the key capacities that need to be developed to build and sustain a national climate-smart agriculture strategy and integrate climate-smart agriculture into policies that extend beyond specific projects and programmes. (...)

The Appellate Body found, however, that the Panel's analysis was incomplete because the Panel did not go on to consider whether this  de facto  detrimental impact stems exclusively from a legitimate regulatory distinction, in which case it would not violate Article 2.1.  (...) Accordingly, the detrimental impact on imported livestock cannot be said to stem exclusively from a legitimate regulatory distinction, and instead reflects discrimination in violation of Article 2.1.  (...) Further, the compliance panel found that the detrimental impact caused by the amended COOL measure does not stem exclusively from legitimate regulatory distinctions. In this regard, the compliance panel followed the approach of the Appellate Body in the original dispute by taking into account the amended COOL measure's increased recordkeeping burden, new potential for label inaccuracy, and continued exemption of a large proportion of relevant products.
