One way to approach this issue is to revisit the regime of Special and Differential Treatment (SDT) as established by the WTO agreements and their counterparts in North-South FTAs. But political will and a truly development-friendly orientation are needed among negotiating parties. However, this remains one of the most difficult issues addressed by the Round and negotiations have not made much progress.
