Instead the "plan" is to take from developed countries and give to the "developing countries."

In a bid to win developing country support for services trade liberalization, industrial countries promised a "development package" of additional aid, tariff-free entry for exports from the poorest countries, a relaxation of intellectual property rights for life-saving medicines, and more WB-IMF aid for capacity building in ldcs.

RE: "In a bid to win developing country support for services trade liberalization"

Well, yeah that too. "Cheap" migrant labor. Remittances are critical for many "developing" countries.

As I recall the WTO is moving beyond trade and could be in the "services trade" and "social justice" business soon.

That's the plan also. Fold the ILO into the WTO, I bet. We're already conditioned to bow to the WTO.
