GATT –General Agreement on Trade and Tariff
The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was a multilateral
treaty that laid down agreed rules for conducting international trade. It came into
force in January 1948. Its basic aim was to liberalise trade and for 47 years it
had been concerned with negotiating the reduction of trade barriers and with
international trade relations. Overseeing the application of its rules was an
important and continuing part of its activities. GATT also provided a forum in
which countries could discuss and overcome their trade problems and negotiate
to enlarge international trading opportunities. The rapid and uninterrupted
growth in the volume of international trade till 1994 provided a good testimony
for the success of the GATT.
