Your browser does not support script Last updated: 5 May 2004 Introduction With China's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), it is anticipated that continuing economic, legal and administrative reforms in China will undoubtedly resonate in the international community and particularly in the East Asian region. At the same time, developments at the international and regional levels will also help shape policies in China. This new relationship of interdependence and co-operation has given rise to a strategically important, interdisciplinary research area for Hong Kong, China and the international community. The focus of the Programme is to establish the University as a world-leading centre in this research area through internationally recognized research, education and training, as well as the provision of related services such as consultancy to local, national and international organizations and businesses. While the immediate focus of the Programme is on China-WTO Law and Policy research, the Programme extends beyond short-term issues connected to China's accession and will also consider the longer-term policy implications of China's integration into the global economy as well as the role and influences which China will have over the East Asian economic order. The Programme aims to deliver high-level, high impact studies in the following areas of interdisciplinary studies:

The Asian Turtle Crisis “When the last individual of a race of living things breathes no more, another heaven and another earth must pass away for such a one can be again.” — William Beebe, Naturalist The exploitation of Asian turtles has brought many species to the brink of extinction. “The living chelonians of the world are in perilous decline. Today, there is no more serious turtle crisis than that which is taking place in Southeast Asia and southern China. Southeast Asia is being vacuumed of its turtles for China’s food markets.” — John L. Behler, Wildlife Conservation Society “A billion people in China, formerly constrained from regular consumption of luxury foods like turtle by lack of cash, are wielding new-found economic power. Ross Perot might describe the ‘giant sucking sound’ of millions of turtles being wrenched from their habitats in Laos, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia to meet the insatiable demand and high prices offered by Chinese markets.” — Peter C. H. Pritchard, Chelonia Institute “Survivors of countless millennia, turtles on the brink of our new millennium face imminent demise at the hands of humans. We are facing a turtle survival crisis unprecedented in its severity and risk. Without intervention, countless species will be lost over the next few decades.

NEWS: TRAFFIC calls for better management of wild species under CITES 16 September 2002, Cambridge... TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network, today released its recommendations on decisions faced by an upcoming meeting of 160 member Governments of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). Parties to CITES will be charged with determining the level of controls on international trade of species ranging from animals such as African elephants and Patagonian Toothfish, to plants such as Big-leaf Mahogany and various species of cactii. If accepted, proposals to include species in Appendix I of CITES will virtually ban all international commercial trade in the species. Acceptance of proposals to include species in Appendix II of the Convention will result in increased trade controls through a system of permits required to ensure that trade is legal and sustainable. A total of 53 proposals concerning TRAFFIC trade controls for a wide range of wild animals and plants will be tabled at the twelfth meeting of the Conference of Parties to CITES taking place in Chile from 3-15 November 2002. TRAFFIC is in a unique position as the world’s leading expert on wildlife trade for the past 25 years to provide sound, research-based recommendations to support the decision-making process of the Parties to CITES. B Watkins Trade impacts on marine species are a particular concern at this year's meeting. “This is the case with Patagonian Toothfish in several geographical areas. Even a conservative estimate shows that the illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) catch accounts for half of the Patagonian Toothfish traded in recent times”, said

Wildlife News Search WWF-UK WWF-UK News > News stories Monday 7 June 2004 New evidence of growing threat to Asian leopards Thursday 7 November 2002 WWF has launched a new publication that reveals evidence of the growing threats to the survival of Asian leopards, including the snow leopard - one of the most endangered big cats in the world. Asian Leopards was released in collaboration with the International Snow Leopard Trust at the Twelfth Conference of the Parties (CoP12) to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). It coincides with a resolution at the conference that calls on all governments to make conservation of snow leopards and other Asian big cats a priority. The publication highlights the threats - such as the illegal trade in skins - to the Asian leopard, the clouded leopard and the snow leopard. Recently gathered evidence shows that high numbers of clouded leopard skins were on sale in Myanmar and that large seizures in India included more than 100 leopard skins, as well as 18,000 leopard claws. In Kyrgyzstan, where a snow leopard skin is worth several times the annual wage of a state worker, as many as 300 snow leopards have been killed for trade alone over the past decade. Snow leopard skins have also been seen in growing numbers in rural Chinese wildlife markets and even in Beijing fur shops. It takes between six and eleven snow leopard skins to make one fur coat yet there are only an estimated 3,500-7,000 snow leopards left in the world.

about GPF What's New Newsletter Sitemap ... *Opinion Forum International Trade and Development Standard economic theory holds that a completely liberalized global market is the most efficient way to foster growth, because each country specializes in producing the goods and services in which it has a comparative advantage. Yet, in practice, cutting trade barriers and opening markets do not necessarily generate development. Rich countries and large corporations dominate the global marketplace and create very unequal relations of power and information. As a result, trade is inherently unequal and poor countries often experience not rising well-being but increasing unemployment, poverty, and income inequality. An additional problem is that free trade is not equally free. Agricultural subsidies and other trade barriers in the US and the EU prevent poor countries from gaining access to the most important markets, while they open up their own markets to US and EU exports. Critics of free trade point out that many of the world’s richest countries sheltered their economies by protection when they were at the start of their own growth. Further, trade is so dominated by transnational corporations that new trade rules mainly benefit those companies. A number of NGOs have started to promote “fair trade,” arguing that trade can promote development if it is environmentally sustainable and includes respect for human and labor rights. This page provides information on trade issues, including how to make trade contribute to development.

Press Releases May 3, 2004 - Food Industry Leaders Convene Roundtable March 10, 2004 - Expo Long Overdue Say Experts June 18, 2003 - ITI Announces API-The Pan Asian Food and Beverage Trade Show NEWS RELEASE Press information contact: Christina Crespo Food Industry Leaders Convene Roundtable Trade Show in Toronto, Ontario, Canada Toronto, Ontario, Canada - May 3, 2004 - By overwhelming consensus food industry experts and Asian community leaders agree that API-The Pan Asian Food and Beverage Trade Show is an expo whose time is now. Business leaders and decision-makers will convene on Thursday, May 6, 2004, at Bright Pearl Restaurant in Toronto's Chinatown for a roundtable discussion on the trends, challenges and opportunities posed by the $6 billion (US) Canadians spend on food and beverages annually. The Pan Asian community is 1.3 million people strong and is the most under-marketed-to and wealthiest population sector in Canada. This growing Pan Asian consumer segment, plus the popularity of Asian cuisine that crosses-over to mainstream consumers, makes this a lucrative market. And it's not just chop suey anymore! Among non-Asian mainstream consumers the healthy perception of Asian food, the desire for more exciting flavors and it's compatibility with vegetarian diets, have all led to the rising popularity of soy, bok choy, sushi, Korean BBQ, tandoori chicken, dim sum, boba and sake. International Trade Information, Inc. (ITI), show organizers, will focus attention on both the economic strength and viability of the Asian food and beverage market, and the important cultural contributions of numerous Asian countries to North America's rich landscape.
