CLOSING REMARKS

Decisions made at governmental levels regarding trade between nations can have a positive or negative impact
on your business. Join and participate in the world trade association in your city or state. You will have access to
information on world markets and trade opportunities, as well as contact with seasoned international traders.  It is
an investment that will reap benefits for the success of your business.

It would be great for all businesses worldwide to be able to trade freely across borders without tariffs and national
protection barriers. This would be possible if all trading partners were equal and if all products and services could
compete on equal ground. Understanding the complex issues that hamper global multilateral trade would help us
to appreciate the need for continued open discussion between trading partners.
