With Jordan becoming the Member 136 in the WTO, multinationals will have access to the Jordanian market and vice versa Jordanian entrepreuners will seek foreign markets. Khalaf Masa'deh & Partners provides first class advice to governments and multinationals on: Jordan's commitments in the WTO; the relevant national laws and regulations; and the current WTO legal regime including trade in manufactured goods (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade GATT 1994), trade in services (General Agreement on Trade in Services GATS), intellectual property rights (Agreement on Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights TRIPs), investment matters and performance requirements (Agreement on Trade-related Investment Matters TRIMs), technical and sanitary standards (Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade TBT) and Agreement on sanitary and phytosanitary measures SPS, and WTO dispute settlement mechanisms (Dispute Settlement Understanding DSU).
We also advise multinationals how to obtain good deals from regulatory authorities whether involving market access or commercial presence.
