Aisa Kya Hua Ki Baat Atki?
Ye jo electronic transmissions par customs duties lagane par rok hai na, jo expire hone wali hai, usko extend karne ki talks chal rahi thi WTO mein. Lekin lagta hai baat bani nahi. Final din tak bhi koi bada breakthrough nahi mila. Asal problem ye hai ki US chahta hai ki ye rok permanent basis par badh jaye, kyunki unko digital economy mein stability chahiye. Lekin India, jisme kuch aur desh bhi saath hain, woh sirf 2 saal ke liye extension chahta hai.
Global Trade Ka Kya Hoga?
Business leaders keh rahe hain ki agar is rok ko extend nahi kiya gaya toh global commerce mein gadbad ho sakti hai. Kuch log compromise ke liye alag-alag options de rahe hain, jaise ki 10 saal ka extension ya phir 5 se 10 saal tak ke period. Lekin India jaise desh ke liye 2 saal se zyada ka agreement mushkil lag raha hai.
US Ambassador to WTO, Joseph Barloon ne bhi kaha hai ki permanent extension US ke liye bahut zaroori hai, nahi toh US WTO mein kam involvement dikha sakta hai. Ye sab tab ho raha hai jab WTO mein rules ko lekar reform ki koshish chal rahi hain, jaise subsidy transparency aur decision-making par.
