Expert Meeting on Definitions and Dimensions of Environmental Goods and Services in Trade and
Development, Geneva, 9–11 July 2003
Experts addressed issues relating to trade liberalization in environmental goods and
services (EGS) from two perspectives. First, they considered definitions, classifications and
negotiating approaches in the context of the WTO mandate provided for in paragraph 31 (iii)
of the Doha Ministerial Declaration. Second, they discussed the role of EGS in sustainable
development, in particular policies and measures that could be carried out at the national and
international levels to strengthen the various EGS sectors in developing countries and to
contribute to achievement of the Millennium Goals and the implementation of the
Johannesburg Plan of Action adopted at the World Summit on Sustainable Development
