6n November 2001, 142 Trade Ministers from around the world met
at the 4th WTO Ministerial Conference in Doha, Qatar, and launched
a Round of multilateral trade negotiations.
The Doha Ministerial Declaration established the objective of duty-
free, quota-free market access for products originating from LDCs. 6n
Canada͛s case, a preferential tariff for LDCs has been in place since
1983. The scope of products covered by this scheme, which applies to
49 of the world͛s least-developed countries, was substantially
expanded in January 2003. The least-developed country tariff (LDCT)
provides duty-free and quota-free access for all products from LDCs,
with the exception of over-quota access for supply-managed products
in the dairy, poultry and eggs sectors.
