14 Getting to Zero Modalities for Industrial Tariff Elimination Request/offer process S&D through phasing 2020: Industrial Tariffs Eliminated Eliminate LLDC tariffs BEFORE 2005 More products in later buckets for developing countries

15 1.Developing countries: Pay most tariffs to each other, on growing South-South trade Face high tariffs in developed countries on key export items Need to reduce costs of production to attract investment 2.Developed countries: Pay $16 billion in residual tariffs on North-North trade Face broadly high tariffs in key developing markets Should eliminate basic necessities tax on poor consumers Summary: Why Zero? Summary: Why Zero?

16 3. Were halfway there already: 42% of world trade is duty-free, percentage is growing Web of FTAs threatens: more complexity economic distortions second-class status for many poor countries 4. Grand political bargain: Addresses high tariffs on selected goods in developed countries AND broadly high rates in developing countries If no bargain, little progress likely on either front Summary: Why Zero? Summary: Why Zero?
