their membership rights. “I am very pleased to see Luxembourg’s support to developing countries
in improving their participation in the multilateral trading system” declared
WTO Director General Pascal Lamy. Luxembourg’s Ambassador, Jean Feyder stated that: "Luxembourg will continue to strengthen its partnership with developing
countries especially LDC’s in order to help them towards full ownership
in international trade relations." .
