जागतिक व्यापार संघटनेमध्ये विकसनशिल देशांसाठी कोणत्या तरतुदींचा समावेश आहे ?
(a) करार अंमलबजावणीसाठी अधिकचा कालावधी
(b) व्यापारविषयक संधीमध्ये वाढ करण्याचे उपाय
(c) व्यापार विषयक विशेष जकातींचे दर
(d) व्यापार विषयक हित जोपासणे.
पर्यायी उत्तरे :
(1) (a) आणि (b)
(2) (a), (b) आणि (c)
(3) (b) फक्त
(4) (a), (b) आणि (d)

The correct answer is Option D ((a), (b) and (d)).

Key Points:
• Core Concept
• The WTO incorporates 'Special and Differential Treatment' (S&DT) provisions to protect developing and least-developed country (LDC) members.
• Why Correct
• Official S&DT provisions specifically encompass:
• 1. Longer time periods for implementing agreements and commitments (Statement (a)).
• 2. Measures designed to increase trading opportunities for developing countries (Statement (b)).
• 3. Provisions requiring members to safeguard the trade interests of developing countries (Statement (d)).
• Octroi is a local municipality tax on goods entering a local area, not an instrument under WTO multilateral rules. Hence, (c) is invalid.
• Key Details
• Developing countries were granted transition periods of 5 to 10 years to phase in agreements such as TRIPS and TRIMs.
• Exam Traps
• 'Octroi' (जकात) is a municipal transit fee; the WTO promotes tariff reductions and never mandates special octroi rates.
• Other Options
• Any combination including (c) is incorrect. Option 4 correctly includes (a), (b), and (d).
• Key Takeaway: WTO special provisions for developing nations include longer transition periods, enhanced trading opportunities, and safeguarding trade interests.
