Abstract: | Ethiopia has formally applied for accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) and on 10 February 2003 the General Council of the WTO established a Working Party which has been following up the country's accession since then. The present collective volume addresses issues relating to the implications of WTO accession for different sectors of the Ethiopian economy: financial services (Gebrehiwot Ageba and Derk Bienen), investment (Abebe Abebayehu), market access (Seyoum Yohannes), special and differential treatment provisions in respect of trade (Martha Belete), foreign exchange (Million Habte) and intellectual property rights and access to affordable medicines (Fikremarkos Merso).
