WTO documents

In addition to the direct links described above, WTO documents that are cited in International Trade Regulation may be obtained via the WTO Documents Online database. This contains derestricted WTO documents published since 1995, as well as Uruguay Round documents from 1985 to 1997. It allows searching for particular documents, or browsing. There are Help and FAQ pages that explain, for example, the system for numbering documents. The WTO policy on the circulation and restriction of documents is explained in document WT/L/160/Rev.1.

In addition to minutes, working documents, and other reports, almost all WTO bodies produce an annual report in October or November. These reports are available individually, and are eventually produced as a single annual document. The Trade Topics pages on the WTO Website give direct access to these documents.
