The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the product of the Uruguay Round Multilateral Trade Negotiations (the UR) which is the 8th Round under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT).'Beginnning in 1986 and ending in 1993,2 the WTO was the longest and perhaps the most difficult trade negotiation in the history of the GATT.$Negotiations were by no means smooth.In fact, the entire process almost collapsed due to the parties failure to agree on such items as agriculture and antidumping matters.'For example, the United States and the European Communities differed on issues relating to agricultural subsidies and the United States and Japan diverged on matters relating to antidumping. 5Eventu-1.
