El Sr. Ravier destac?que los 30 funcionarios comerciales tendr醤 una ocasi髇 singular de seguir, desde el interior, la labor de la OMC y podr醤 as?ser testigos de la forma en que la Organizaci髇 empieza a aplicar la decisi髇 adoptada el pasado noviembre en el cuarto per韔do de sesiones de la Conferencia Ministerial, celebrado en Doha (Qatar).
El Director General Adjunto tambi閚 puso de relieve los esfuerzos realizados por la OMC para contribuir a crear capacidad comercial en los pa韘es en desarrollo y las econom韆s en transici髇. Record?la creaci髇 del Instituto de Formaci髇 de la OMC el pasado junio y expres?su satisfacci髇 por la decisi髇 de los Miembros de la OMC de aumentar el presupuesto del Instituto para lograr progresivamente la duplicaci髇 de su capacidad de formaci髇. El Sr. Ravier invit?a los participantes en el curso a adoptar un papel activo en la formaci髇 que iban a recibir y a desarrollar y fortalecer una red s髄ida de contactos que les ser醤 鷗iles a la hora de abordar las cuestiones relacionadas con la OMC. Expres?la convicci髇 de que los funcionarios gubernamentales bien informados contribuyen de manera determinante a establecer un sistema comercial m醩 vigoroso y aut閚ticamente multilateral.
A lo largo de los tres meses de formaci髇, que concluir醤 el 5 de abril, los 30 funcionarios participantes se familiarizar醤, a trav閟 de conferencias, mesas redondas y simulaciones, con pr醕ticamente todas las cuestiones abordadas y las actividades que se llevan a cabo en el marco de la OMC, as?como con los aspectos relacionados con el comercio, de la labor que realizan otras organizaciones internacionales con sede en Ginebra.
El
mandato del Instituto de Formaci髇 de la OMC va m醩 all?de la
organizaci髇 de los cursos de pol韙ica comercial tradicionales, que
ya se establecieron en el marco del GATT en 1955. La tarea del
Instituto abarca ahora la formaci髇 de instructores, una gama
diversificada de cursos breves de pol韙ica comercial, los servicios
de ense馻nza a distancia y una mayor cooperaci髇 con universidades y
otras instituciones de ense馻nza en el estudio de la OMC y las
cuestiones relacionadas con el comercio. Brinda asesoramiento al
Instituto un Consejo que celebr?su reuni髇 constitutiva en
noviembre de 2001.
