Of these, 38 have completed the process, bringing the WTO's total membership to 166 22 economies are currently at various stages of negotiating their accession Although those seeking to join the WTO have followed similar paths of economic reform WTO accession processes have varied significantly Some completed the process relatively quickly – for example after just three to four years of negotiations the Kyrgyz Republic and Oman joined the WTO spent nearly two decades in accession talks before becoming members These longer timelines reflect the evolving nature of the accession process Unlike accessions in the era of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) WTO accessions require far-reaching structural reforms that go well beyond traditional trade-opening often encompassing multiple sectors of the acceding economy the process demands a thorough understanding of the applicant's economic systems which must be underpinned by broad-based domestic consensus do governments choose to undertake the rigorous demands of WTO accession the answer lies in a desire to modernize institutions and regulatory practices enhance the business environment and attract foreign direct investment These motivations often go hand-in-hand with broader national goals poverty reduction and sustainable development have been central to the evolution of many economies Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia in 1991 international trade played a pivotal role in transforming the economies of the newly independent states and in strengthening their ties with the global economy WTO membership served as a powerful vehicle for the modernization of these economies as well as of other formerly centrally planned economies and most recently Comoros and Timor-Leste in 2024 – making a total of 11 LDC accessions to date – have used the accession process to lay the foundations for poverty reduction and sustainable economic growth WTO membership was soon followed by graduation from LDC status (in 2008 including the Lao People's Democratic Republic graduation is expected before the end of this decade As many LDCs began their accession processes while classified as "fragile and conflict-affected states" WTO membership has also played an important role in reshaping perceptions of their economic and development potential A review of both completed and ongoing accessions underscores that the WTO accession process serves as a catalyst for domestic reform helping to create an enabling environment for economic resilience and sustainable growth In the same way that WTO accessions have anchored domestic transformations accessions have also benefitted the global trading system the percentage of world trade accounted for by WTO members has risen from 87 per cent in 1995 to over 98 per cent today Despite the proliferation of free trade agreements and the sharp rise in tariff barriers, the vast majority of this trade – still more than 70 per cent – continues to be conducted under the WTO's most-favoured-nation (MFN) principles This has promoted the integration of global supply chains and has lowered trading costs for all WTO members The scope of the WTO can also be measured in terms of population the original members represented just 69 per cent of the world's population the WTO has extended its reach to an additional 2 billion people – further strengthening the inclusiveness and global relevance of the multilateral trading system Beyond their individual reforms, economies that have joined the WTO since 1995 have made substantial systemic contributions to the WTO Each accession prompts existing members to reflect on how best to uphold and advance the WTO's core values accessions have repeatedly helped to deepen clarify and modernize existing disciplines acceded members have added more than 1,500 legally binding commitments to the WTO rulebook These commitments – coupled with guarantees for deeper access to their domestic markets for goods and services – have made the WTO stronger more dynamic and more responsive to evolving global trade realities such as domestic support in agriculture and the regulation of state-owned enterprises members who have joined over the past 30 years have often taken on more comprehensive and detailed commitments reflecting an evolution of obligations in relation to existing WTO norms In several areas – notably trade facilitation tariff rate quotas and export subsidies – accession negotiations have also achieved concrete results years before the emergence of multilateral trade disciplines demonstrating the forward-looking nature of the accession process acceded members have adopted over 250 specific commitments Some of these members could even be considered to be "transparency champions" given that they have submitted extensive notifications to the WTO about their trade measures – including in areas where original members have been less forthcoming or where multilateral disciplines do not yet exist such as the notification of privatization programmes 30 years after the establishment of the WTO acceded members account for more than one-fifth of its total membership Accessions are a force for change – driving re-examinations of the WTO rulebook steering the trading system away from complacency and challenging original members to match the benchmarks set by the newer members This has been especially relevant in recent years as the multilateral trading system has been facing mounting pressure Acceding members offer a source of hope for the future of the trading system Even amid global uncertainty and growing challenges many of them have remained actively engaged recognizing that no economy's prosperity is secure in isolation however large or small that economy might be The admission of new members has been a true success story but work on WTO accessions is far from complete Twenty-two governments – a diverse group whose future membership will further enrich the WTO – remain in the process of accession the WTO will try to support these governments by providing targeted technical assistance and capacity-building a key area of focus will be the accession of the remaining LDCs all of which are also classified as fragile and conflict-affected states Supporting these countries in their WTO accession processes through dedicated programmes and tailored approaches can serve as a catalyst for economic reform institution-building and integration into the global trading system this can also help to foster lasting stability and peace and to establish a gradual pathway out of fragility and toward greater resilience it has become increasingly clear that integration into the multilateral trading system does not end on the date of an economy's accession the immediate post-accession period presents a distinct set of challenges – particularly for governments with limited institutional and administrative capacity While the WTO recognizes the need for sustained support during this critical phase – when newly acceded members are often required to implement further domestic reforms to fulfil their WTO commitments – it has yet to develop robust institutional mechanisms to provide targeted support during this period There is scope for improvement in this area and especially in supporting the effective integration of recently acceded LDCs Thirty years since the establishment of the WTO accessions continue to renew and enrich the organization As new members continue to bring fresh perspectives and commitment to the multilateral trading system WTO accessions will remain a powerful force for reform international cooperation and global economic integration Le blog de l'OMC

information: Select the journal/section where you want your idea to be submitted: Manuscript Submission Deadline 31 July 2025 This Research Topic is still accepting articles The intricate communication between the central nervous system (CNS) and the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is fundamental to the organism's ability to adapt to environmental demands This communication is facilitated through complex neural processing that integrates organ-specific information from sympathetic and parasympathetic afferents at various levels of brain organization The accurate perception of interoceptive signals and predictive coding is crucial for the top-down influences on the ANS which are essential for regulating peripheral physiology Miscommunication between the CNS and ANS can lead to pathological conditions such as anxiety disorders due to sympathetic hyperactivation.The Neurovisceral Integration Model provides a framework for understanding how CNS-ANS communication supports adaptive responses Recent studies have highlighted the role of the brainstem noradrenergic nucleus Locus Coeruleus (LC) as a key node in this network influencing both autonomic nuclei and forebrain regions The LC's involvement in vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has shown promise in treating conditions like epilepsy and depression Heart rate variability (HRV) serves as a non-invasive marker of CNS-ANS communication there remains a need for improved diagnostic methods and a deeper understanding of the body-brain interaction to enhance clinical applications.This Research Topic aims to update and advance current views on the relationship between the body It seeks to emphasize the significance of body-brain interactions for mental and physical health and to explore the development of new diagnostic methods and the refinement of existing measurements to enhance the reliability and predictive power of ANS activity biomarkers.Additionally the research will investigate the influence of cognitive factors including learning the research aims to foster a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying affective disorders and to promote the development of effective therapeutic interventions.To gather further insights into the complex interplay between the CNS and ANS This Research Topic accepts the following article types unless otherwise specified in the

What a tangled (numismatic) web we weave! © 2025 Active Interest Media All rights reserved Campaign under way to identify subjects of images shot in 1970s and 1980s by Westra one of New Zealand’s best-known social documentary photographers “A lot of people have rung me about that photo,” Uruamo tells the Guardian “People recognised me and said: ‘hey Arthur Westra died last year, aged 86, leaving behind more than 300,000 images of New Zealand life over many decades Ans Westra Photograph: Ans WestraThe image of Uruamo as a young man on the billboard was put up as part of a campaign being run by Westra’s family and Suite Gallery in Wellington to identify thousands of people the photographer captured over her lifetime While Uruamo had always known about the photo after seeing it on the billboard he contacted the gallery and they were finally able to identify him The campaign to find the subjects in Westra’s photos will continue over the next few months taken in Wellington during the 1970s and 1980s stickers and light projections around the city the project hopes to identify and catalogue the many unnamed people in the images People are asked to contact the gallery if they have information with the hopes of connecting any living subjects Ans Westra leaving behind more than 300,000 images of New Zealand life over many decades Photograph: Ans WestraWestra was born in the Netherlands and moved to New Zealand in the 1950s she documented life in New Zealand and overseas with the images now housed in a large vault in Wellington A selection of these are being digitally catalogued through the National Library of New Zealand Her work varied widely – from landscapes and street life, to gangs and the domestic everyday – but she is perhaps best known for capturing Māori communities at a time of great social change, which prompted both acclaim and controversy. Read moreWhile Westra developed close and enduring relationships with many communities she did not always record the identities of those she photographed “Her method was very much in the background “She wouldn’t always stop and write down who was in her photographs – that would have interfered with her work.” Now – particularly in the digital age – it is generally viewed as best practice to record the identities of people in photographs adding part of project’s aim is to bring Westra’s work in line with modern standards she could be criticised for not having recorded the names of the people – so this is … trying to complete the work for her and not just for her but for the people in the photographs and future generations.” Ans Westra, Cuba St, 1987. Photograph: Ans WestraAlsop and Van Hulst hope the Wellington campaign will inspire others around the country to dip into the National Library catalogue, where they can search Westra’s archive for a specific time and place, and potentially identify themselves or others. Read moreWestra saw her work as something that “belonged to the nation” and should be accessible “[Identification] adds a depth to the collection that elevates it from being just photographs to 60 years of New Zealand history.” the photo of himself as a young man is more than just an historical document: “it’s a story.” “It’s the same for me as it is for others who see their photo – it brings back some good memories.” an unknown woman who liked the look of Uruamo boldly walked up to him and held his hand but the young pair lost touch after the Rātana celebrations the same woman saw Westra’s photograph of Uruamo on Facebook and recognised the man she had fancied many years earlier She asked if anyone could identify the man “She saw that picture and she fell in love again.” The Yankees had everything going their way on Saturday afternoon—until they didn’t. A game that should’ve been a comfortable win turned into a gut-wrenching loss, as the Bombers coughed up a 99.4% win expectancy entering the ninth inning, falling 10–8 to the Tampa Bay Rays in extras It was a meltdown that started with an unraveling and ended with a walk-off it all unraveled in the hands of their star closer and drove in eight runs while striking out 12 times they were cruising with a 6–1 lead and all signs pointed to a breezy finish Carlos Carrasco got the start and began the game looking sharp He ended up giving up four earned runs on six hits over four innings the Yankees handed over a two-run lead and a four-run lead to the bullpen who was brought in to be the shutdown closer the Yankees lacked in 2024 saw his ERA balloon to 9.00 after allowing four runs in a disastrous final frame taking full advantage of Williams’ lack of command and finding holes in the outfield the Yankees’ bats went cold in the 10th Yodenrys Gómez took the ball in the bottom half but Jonathan Aranda had other plans—launching a two-run walk-off home run that sealed a comeback victory for Tampa Bay but the Yankees left the door open and got burned he doubled down on his faith in Williams after the loss “We went out and got him for a reason He’s the best closer in the game,” Judge said This guy is going to save a lot of ballgames for us and help us out He’ll go out there and figure it out.” Judge himself was one of the few bright spots picking up three hits and three RBIs in another MVP-caliber showing and continues to make a case for more regular playing time Ben Rice also continued his strong start to the season with two more hits but had to leave early after taking a pitch to the elbow x-rays came back negative and he’s only dealing with some bruising The Yankees

Alsop said any information people provided would be invaluable to future researchers or whānau interested in a particular person or event "So that's what we're increasingly trying to do … It's to let people know they can do this more significant historical archive for everybody who accesses it." Alsop said Westra was a frequent visitor to Northland She had close friends in Te Kao and Kaitāia and was a regular at Waitangi Day commemorations in the Bay of Islands The earliest photo in the exhibition was taken in 1963; the latest dated to the mid-1980s Alsop said Westra's archive was so vast he still did not know exactly how many images were in it because there's still quite a lot of cataloguing to do." and upload the images to the National Library's website to make them freely available to all So far about 80,000 negatives had been digitised with an estimated 70,000 to go Another 170,000 or so digital images taken since the 2000s did not have to be scanned but still needed to be captioned and catalogued Alsop said he first met Westra at an exhibition of her work in Leiden the city midway between Amsterdam and The Hague where she was born in 1936 They struck up a firm friendship and their families became closely intertwined Alsop said Westra's contribution to New Zealand photography was "unparalleled and extremely significant" the beauty of her photographs show us a glimpse of what it might have been like to be a New Zealander at a particular time and in a particular place … there's no other record so important and so far-reaching for the second half of the 20th century." Alsop said Westra had no predetermined ideas about what she was trying to capture and really just captured people as they went about their lives Some of her work was controversial at the time - a publication for distribution to schools was withdrawn in 1964 and most copies were pulped - but now her photos were widely admired People are generally really pleased with what Ans did but I know she'd be happy to know that we're talking about her work and that her legacy is being honoured like this." Westra was made a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 1998 Ans Westra: Kerikeri 2025 opens at 5pm on 5 May in the Theatre Bar at the Turner Centre, Cobham Road, Kerikeri.

Organisation (DPO) approval of equipment for Air Traffic Management/Air Navigation (ATM/ANS) services marking a major milestone in the journey towards a safer and efficient operation of the European ATM network in all phases of flight The approval was awarded to Micro Elektronische Producten B.V (MEP) that designs and produces air-ground voice communication systems for Air Traffic Control services and is the first organisation approved under EASA The single EASA approval is valid across the entire EU market paving the way for harmonised ATM/ANS equipment across the continent “This approval is a first step on the way to a more modern and harmonised ATM network in Europe,” said EASA Flight Standards Director “Europe is strong in producing ATM equipment and this new approval system makes it easier for the service providers to adopt solutions already proven as safe in real operations as the approval of an organisation comes with the privilege to improve existing solutions without needing a new full certification We congratulate MEP on the achievement of receiving this first approval and expect many manufacturers to follow in their footsteps.” complemented: “I am very happy that MEP is the first company to be granted the DPO approval This is the result and recognition of all the hard work of our MEP project team receiving great support from the EASA team over the last 12 months MEP is committed to safety in Air Traffic Control in general and voice communication systems in particular I am convinced that this approval will further improve cooperation with our customers.” To achieve the approval, MEP successfully demonstrated compliance with the applicable requirements of Regulations (EU) 2023/1769 and 2023/1768 Compliance was verified by the EASA team during the initial approval investigation conducted over the last 12 months The approval as DPO entitles organisations to specific design or production privileges They can apply for certification of certain ATM/ANS equipment classify changes as “major” or “minor” and make these changes to certain ATM/ANS equipment They can also issue declarations of design compliance and issue EASA release forms that allow equipment designed and produced by the DPO to be delivered to an Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) for installation This also means less work for the ANSP; they can rely more directly upon the work done by the approved DPO when making changes to ANSP systems EASA’s extended remit resulted from the publication of the new regulatory framework on the conformity assessment of ATM/ANS equipment The framework introduced several new concepts such as: These concepts were designed to enable cost-efficiency (ANS – Turin) – The election of Fr Fabio Attard as the 11th successor of Don

The teachers' response is also mostly positive "Especially creating new questions is a lot easier in the new system."
